    Photo booths of Birmingham

    A rather grubby photo booth snap of mom and me probably taken in town as we lived in Garrison Lane at the time. Unfortunately I don't have a date but I was born in the summer of 1956 if you can guess my age. You don't see many of those knitted balaclava with shoulders any more.

    Looks like I'm now due a refund in a trilogy of emails for my non-existent Netflix account. Yeah right! :joy: As ever, stay vigilant folks.

    A bit of Victorian 'road rage' by the sounds of it.

    Does nobody die anymore?

    Unfortunately some people have become more precious and easily offended. These changes to the English spoken/written word are being changed to reflect that.

    Picture re-touch

    It's ok to leave the plaster John. Not that I remember it but apparently I fell down the stairs, still have the scar on my eyebrow!

    Picture re-touch

    A 1960 photo of me and my sister on a window sill in Garrison Lane. I've had several goes at it myself but failed miserably, especially the stitching together the break across my check shirt. Time to hand it over to the experts! All attempts greatly appreciated.

    Photo Help Please

    Amazing that the old (maybe Victorian) road sign survived the new build houses and tarmacked pavement.

    Another one this morning from 'Amazon' requesting I log in from the email and edit my delivery address because of delivery problems. 1 / Yes I have an Amazon account. 2/ I have not previously reported a delivery problem. 3/ The delivery number quoted bears no resemblance to any delivery...

    Free access

    I do the same with Findmypast, only now I cancel the auto re-subscription at the same time as paying for a months worth. Been caught out twice in the last couple of years by not realising it was auto re-subscription or plain forgetfulness.

    Birmingham Cinemas

    I don't see mention of the Compton Cinema club in this Cinema thread. I'd left Birmingham aged 17 so never actually attended the cinema myself but it was always a hot topic of discussion with older men I had worked with before I left the area. Any members? :eek: :p
