Can't say I remember him, long time ago. He would have been able to fall out of bed straight into work. I lived just round the corner in Stockfield Rd. Also I had an aunt and uncle whose surname was Leek, they lived in Shirley.

Welcome, can you remember what he did and at which branch of WB that he worked.

I'm very much off piste with this! (200miles from Brum). We have, on paper, four buses an hour to our local town, so with a free pass why use anything else, because we don't know which will turn up. Driver shortage, route aborted because of traffic congestion. So if you don't want to stand...

Could it be Worcester Street?

Had one from Woolworth's when I was a kid!

Early C20.
