    I live in Canada and we have our Thanksgiving in October. However, we have friends and family in the US. We used to celebrate both...but things have changed and we no longer do. But one of my close friends introduced us to the green bean casserole, which is quite popular at US Thanksgiving...

    National Trust Back to Back houses and memories of them

    As someone that lived on the same street as you Lyn, I take great offence at Thomas's response. To even suggest that it may have been the people and not the houses, is ignorant, insulting & condescending. The term slum, is derogatory and very misapplied in the case of the back to back housing...

    Queen Elizabeth II has died

    Takes me back to the Coronation party in Paddington St. She has been a constant throughout my lifetime. I will miss her presence. Watched the funeral and shed tears as the lone piper departed. God Bless Her!! Dave A

    Old Maps of Birmingham

    A not so old map of the City Centre showing places of interest. Not sure about the time frame, but it must have been in the 70's or 80's because I needed it to find my way around. Dave A

    fish and chip shops

    While I feel that the fish and chips in the UK are not as good as they used to be, at least that's my experience of the past 20 years or so, quite the opposite has been the case here in Ontario, Canada. I don't think anything can compare to the greasy fish & chips I remember as a kid, however...

    Brummies who moved to the USA

I took my bike for the first time and cycled every day while there. Being flat makes cycling a lot easier. I spend the...
