Hi Mike, You could be right. Thinking back Grandad was in the tool room. How amazing that we have both got relatives in the same photo. Heather

Thanks Len, Grandad (Edward Sadler) was really pleased with that photo. They presented him with a Teasmaid. But he was very unhappy when the next morning he woke to find that he had put the spout the wrong way and had boiling water in his slippers. :redface: Heather (Maggies sister)

I remember it well, after an interview in London I went to work for a public relations firm in Francis road by the five ways island. I hated it and only stayed a couple of months. The only upside was at lunchtime when I used to escape to the Acropolis cafe on Broad street and the Kardoma cafe in...

That has brought back memories, we used to play my Dansette at my mates house, trouble was with 6 girls stamping their feet to Glad all over. It brought the plaster off the ceiling below......boy did we get in trouble. Pocket money and my Dansette impounded for 6 weeks Heather

Dad took my platforms to Austins got them repaired with steel off cuts, they lasted well but I sounded like a flipping horse coming down the road.:redface:

Thanks Big Gee, Spent many happy lunch times in there, just a pity my memory isnt as good now. Heather

Thank you so much Frothy & Ray, 2 answers to 1 question is fantastic. It was the Crown and Lee Longlands which I had also forgotten. Any idea of the name of the Greek coffee bar that was on the same side of the road but further up. I used to go in in 1966. Heather

Can anyone help with the name of a pub on Broad Street. I used to go with my Grandad when I was little, to his R.A.M.C first world war reunions. The pub was on the corner of a road, on the left hand side, coming from Bearwood, just before the Hall of Memory. Opposite was N.C.R cash...

Could any of you kind people help. I am trying to find a map of Oldbury in 1950. Also trying to find out the names and addresses of any working mens hostels in the area. I think there may be one run by Accles & Pollock's but this may be a long shot. If not. do you have any idea where I...

I hate to admit this, but my wedding dress was a copy of one I loved in Lewis's. I tried it on, Mom drew it and the dress maker measured it. Then we put it back on the rail and went and had a coffee. The dress was in 1969 £25 the copy I wore was £11. Sorry Lewis's you lost a sale that day.

Hi, I am Maggies new sister. I went from having no family except my husband and children to... A sister, brother in law, 3 nieces and a nephew and 11 great nieces and nephews. What a fantastic family they all are, to say I am thrilled is a real understatement. Heather

I enjoyed that. Got 26/30. My excuse is.. I passed my test donkeys years ago.

Thanks for the info that Iceland stock Jubbly's. I will have to get some. Pity that over the years, like many things they have shrunk in size

Not to fret Tom. I have got a massive roll of sticky tape. lol

Coconut mushrooms as well. half pound of pineapple rock is my treat tomorrow. Will get you some Sis xxx

Nothing better than a frozen jubbly. Sour Apple sweets, candy cigarettes, Rhubarb & Custard sweets. Pineapple rock. Still available at Teddy Gray's Dudley and Cradley Heath Market. But no Jubbly's. Bring back the Jubbly.
