## Summary

Paul McCartney says he has a feeling he remembers being born at Walton Hospital in Liverpool, though he acknowledges the memory may be imagined. His account has drawn the attention of cartoonist David Squires, who explores the claim in a humorous illustration.

McCartney described white tiles, chrome instruments and clanging during what he recalled as a forceps birth. His mother worked as a nurse at the hospital, which he said was an old Victorian building. He also wondered whether past LSD use might have affected his recollection.
