My thanks go to the following people for their help with this project in any small way. On the whole, it is academics at both LJMU and University of Salford, but a great thank you must go to my wife, Bev, for proof reading this to ensure that no mistakes have been looked over by the spell checker and no grammatical errors have occurred. She also helped in obtaining the samples.
