A few years ago I saw a big sign at Lightwoods Chippy saying that the orange chips were back but I don't think that lasted very long. Never did find out what they were.
Kids these days don't seem to have the freedom that we had. Last time I walked in Warley Woods, there no kids playing football with their coats on the ground for goalposts. And this goes back to before they were busy playing with their computers and smart phones.
I think back to the freedom I had. During school holidays I would go into the Midland Red office in Bearwood and buy a 5 shilling child's Day Anywhere ticket and travel on the Midland Red buses to places like Stafford, Nottingham, Leicester, Northampton with just a packet of sandwiches.
