Cranes (The large bird in the second picture) are now nesting in southern England very successfully.

With France's alleged reputation for infidelity and promiscuity this is probably to protect politicians and statesmen :laughing:

Very interesting comments especially regarding Ancestry who probably have the largest DNA database available to the likes of you and me. I have a large family tree on this site but am no longer subscribed to this company as features that were part of my original membership are no longer...

Not "Classical" but one that makes me emotional with fond memories of my Dad's "party piece" After a couple of pints he would sing this, he even joined the band at my wedding reception and entertained us complete with plenty of handkerchief waving from him and elder relatives:)

Early example of team sponsorship perhaps?

Yes you're right, MWS, Old Mohawk's picture is showing Polly on the Mopstick.

looks like a little great tit perhaps?

Original song by Harvey Andrews from his Snaps album.

Hello, a cousin of mine who lived on Yardley Wood Road, was married to a Harry Shufflebottom in the late 60s. I wonder if he was related to to your Mother in Law's family.

Having just watched the F.A. Cup Final one thing gone out of fashion is the good old community singing prior to kick off. My first experience of this was around 1958 when I went on a trip to Wembley to watch a schoolboy international between England and Scotland.

I think I'm confusing you with another family named Nicholls who lived in Mapledene road. I too lived in Greenvale Ave. Was Greenfield House one of the 6 story blocks? I had a friend who lived on the top floor of one of the blocks, Trevor Slater.

Hello Mark, welcome to the forum. Did you live in Mapledene Road and did you have a couple of older brothers?

Watched the first one last night. Watchable but not brilliant. Been away from Brum for too long to recognise most locations but remembered a couple and of course the Library of Birmingham stood out. Some genuine sounding Brummie accents but a couple of dodgy ones too. Will watch tonight's...
