Engineer Brummie
This has nothing to do with Birmingham apart my grand-dad having been a bank manager in the city prior to his retirement. When I received grand-dad's WW1 army record I was surprised to read that he had false teeth - he would have been just under thirty at the time. However on a guided tour of Port Sunlight on Friday the guide referred to the practice around that time of men (not sure about women) receiving the removal of all their teeth as a 21st Birthday present and the good teeth could be sold to raise a few bob! Has anyone heard of this before?
