Hi. Mike. I have been away on holiday for a week but have enjoyed catching up on this thread, and others of course, more great photo,s and memories, if you remember you invited me and our kid in 1999 when you drove 4819 on the 40th. anniversary run, but we had other commitments then, managed to...

Great view from the Rotunda Mike, think I counted 6 fleetlines. LOL.

It really is a shame to see it in this state, remember when we went to Brighton in it Mike?, with Reg Harding etc. heres another one when it was at Evesham garage, and under cover at Worcester. be great to see it at Whythall as you say.

I remember that S8 Mike as a mobile shop around Marston Green area, the chap who owned it was a friend of my dads, think he is still alive and living in Priory Rd. Hall Green, seem to recognise the driver of 3750 in the first pic. and the good looking guy in the second pic. shame to see 3750 in...

Some interesting views of the 1960s Bull Ring Mike, nice to look back on. Thanks for them. John.

That would be good Mike. hope to see you.

This is a poster up in Burnham today.

Hi. Mike. It really is a fantastic carnival, difficult to describe, if you go on the Burnham on Sea website theres quite a bit about it, its on Nov.10 in Burnham starts at 7 30, lasts over 2 hours and it is less crowded here than Weston, but still busy. hope to be going again this year, never...

Thanks Mark for the photographs, they bring back so many memories, have put the Bromsgrove date in my diary.

The Burnham on Sea carnival is November 10th. this year, its the same carnival as at Weston of course, they do different towns on different evenings, starting in Bridgewater, well worth a visit, theres over 100 floats.

Hi. Mav. I remember a few of those names, but not as many as you, but one you mention "sexy" Bagnell seems to ring a bell, did he usually wear his uniform hat bent up in the middle, or am I thinking of someone else?.

This is a fantastic carnival, we have the same one at Burnham usually a few days before the Weston one, it takes over two hours to pass by,, some of the floats are 100 foot long with a generator on the back, well worth seeing.

In the early 1950s my uncle drove a Guy Vixen furniture van for the CO-OP all over the country from this building, in those days it was called Belmont Row as PMC 1947 says, the photo is of a Lesney model of a similar van.

The accident form would have been interesting.

Blimey you made a mess of that one Mike, what speed were you doing.

I thought you would have a photo of it Mike, LOL, as you say it was in Midland Red territory, hadn,t thought of that, John.

The Waverley is still steaming back and forth to Ilfracombe, Lundy island, Clevedon, and Penarth, and occasionaly Bridgewater depending on the tide, we see it passing Burnham about twice a year.

Nice photo Dave M, like Mike I never took my camera either. You certainly do a lot of trips down here Mike, about time you retired this way. LOL. John.

Hi. Mike. I was in Weston on Sunday afternoon and as you say I havent seen it as busy for a long while, the steam fair has been there all of August and we walked all through it, nice to see a really old fashioned fair, just like when I was a kid, it came from Maidenhead, and all the old wagons...

Thanks Alf and Dave, very good link that Alf, we have a webcam similar on the front at Burnham,the missus and myself like to walk up the front most days there about the same time,and my daughter in Worcester looks out for us on the webcam if she has the time.
