Does anyone know if any medical records exist of patients who were in the fever hospital around 1928? My late Mom was in a fever hospital for some time & I assume that as she was from Small Heath, she may have been taken into Little Bromwich as she spoke of the ‘ fever hospital at Yardley’...

Hi there, we must’ve been in the same classes. You say you remember an Angela Dolphin? That’s me! who are you? You were spot on about the member of staff that we can’t mention (I hear that passed away many many years ago). She made an awful lot of peoples lives hell....she was brutal & as...

It's so wonderful to see all these images & links going up about Saltley School.....they were without doubt the happiest times of my life. I have so many fantastic memories of my time there (1968-1975) & even went back in 1979 to do my major teaching practice before leaving to come up the north...

My Grandad also worked at the BSA & I do have (somewhere tucked away in a safe box!!) one of their little booklets with lots of info in, plus lists of workers & how long they served there. My Grandad Jack Chamberlain notched up an incredible service history & didn't fully retire until he was...

Oh boy, I've just been re-reading this thread & almost all of the sayings & words all sound so.....well 'normal' to me....& yes, I've heard of them all & used most of the expressions myself over the years. "Tripe'ound"...oh that's a belter & I remember my Nan using this expression......oh that's...

I love reading throught this thread.....so many of these sayings etc have brought back so many memories for me. Altho I've lived in the North East for more years than I ever lived in dear ol Brum, I still use many of the sayings & expressions I've read about on here....without thinking about...

Oh this picture has just brought back many memories for me as I used to live in Golden Hillock Rd (the Cov end) & I can just picture walking down onto the Cov to go the butchers with my Mom when I was little. I walked down Muntz Street every day to go to school (to go to Somerville). The...

Maybe our Mom's 'duck's were related Jean lol

But I wonder where my mother got the "your mother's won a duck" from?? I suppose each family adds or changes things over time eh?? It's fascinating isn't it?

Oooh, my Mom says that, "wallop Mrs Cox, your mother's won a duck". I thought it was just one of my Mom's daft sayings, I didnt realise other people knew it as well.

Thinking of you & your family Lyn xx
