The petrol/electric hybrid car has mouthwatering performance. The power output is 231 bhp plus 96 Kw giving a total of 357 bhp, and a massive 570 Nm of torque. A 0-60 mph acceleration time of 4.4 seconds is the result. The automatic gearbox keeps the car accelerating up to its 155 mph limit. The fuel efficiency is distorted by the hybrid system, but the official figures are 135 miles per gallon and 49 g/km of CO2.

Liverpool Cathedral Constables
Liverpool Cathedral employs 10 constables, managed by a head constable. The first photograph shows their uniform of white shirt with black tie and black trousers. They do not carry handcuffs or a baton. They are based in a purpose built office at the entrance to the cathedral grounds. Despite having historic connections stretching back many hundreds of years, this specialist constabulary was formed in August 2005. Previous to this date they were security officers.
The constables make use of an extensive CCTV system as well as patrolling the building and grounds, including a neighbouring college. They work 24/7 and despite not having police powers are trained to deal with some dangerous situations. They use the power of citizen’s arrest on rare occasions. Any major situations are dealt with by the local Merseyside Police.
