Yes, a very pleasant surprise.It is good that both of you have met here and I am sure the Mods will not 'kick you both up the bracket'.
However PM's are the better way forward and you can make more personal comments using that system.
Lyn, I was unsure if we should have continued to comment on someone else’s post so I suggested pm. I suppose I should have started a new post so everyone could have enjoyed the content. Sorry for the confusion Ghi bullring boy just to clear this up it is perfectly fine to post about our memories of yesteryear on open forum...thats what we are here for but if you wish to swap personal contact details ie telephone numbers and email addresses with another member for the sake of your privacy we always suggest that you contact the member via our private message system which you can find by clicking on the envelope top right of the main page..these messages remain private between yourself and the recipient...enjoy

of a sat i would buy 2 pound of cooked whelks and mussles. and chomp them on the way home. stinking out the bus. lolWhat wonderful memories of the Market hall I have, the lady at the entrance shouting Andykaria which were made of brown paper OK in the dry but when wet going up the bus stairs the bottom used to fall out and a pound of mussels whelks and shrimps would scatter on the bus platform , snarls from the conductress.
The big bomb , the cafe just inside the entrance where we drank Tizer, next door the pet shop with Puppies in the window with a crowd of kids begging mom to buy one, the smell of fish and the noise of the stallholders shouting at us to buy there offerings.
Ah memories and the black and white pictures in my mind Magic.
OMG, when I got OT as an apprentice on a Saturday morning, I would take the bus from Perry Barr and buy welks and cockles! Still love that stuff..........thanks for rekindling those memories Pete!of a sat i would buy 2 pound of cooked whelks and mussles. and chomp them on the way home. stinking out the bus. lol
