https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/J._A._Reynolds_and_Co I think the date was much earlier! Maybe 1889? https://www.hemswell-antiques.com/antiques/clocks-and-scientific-instruments/other-scientific-items/a-fine-magazine-case-of-drawing-instruments-by-j-a-reynolds-and-co-birmingham-1907-113252.html

Having a "potter" in antique shop this morning and I noticed a telescope with this label in the lid of the box, I read the date to be 1989. Two addresses Colmore Row and Church Lane Aston.

Harry McGuire queuing at our local chippy, Phillip Serrell eating in a local cafe.

After the above I saw a small blue butterfly so looked it up, what a bag of worms so to speak, I hadn't realised that nearly half of the "blues" that you see are in fact Brown as most female blues are brown.

Celebrity while passing! Kenny Ball in a gents loo in a pub on Hagley road. Never seen Roy Wood even though I learn we both lived near Pool Way shopping centre.

I had an uncle George Shrapnel Leek. Doesn't seem to be a family name.

With the warm, no hot weather there has been a marked increase of butterflies, some I recognise, these include comma, red admiral, cabbage white, peacock, tortoiseshell, humming bird moth, and some brown ones.

It's almost 65 years to the day since I passed my driving test, for some forty years I worked in motor industry and I have never bought a new car. Trying to remember some landmarks, a week after the test we hired an A40 took it across Exmoor to Woolacombe. On our return bought a Wolseley NF...

Went past here to and from work in 1970's never occurred to me that it hadn't always been a garage.

Not on theme but just wanted to ask a "car" question. What is an SUV? I know it's a sports utility vehicle but every other car is marketed as an SUV so what features does it have to have? Thanks in advance for your pearls of wisdom!

Congratulations! Have a great day!

In the commentary there was a claim that the mini was the World's first front-wheel drive car, there were Citroens quite a few years previous. I think it was true that the mini was the first CV front-wheel drive.

The garage in Tyseley was Gethin's not Gittin's. Well I was only 7 or 8 when I lived there!

I think that is a very different Lucas. Remember when the Lucas office was built at Monkspath, the proposed building was erected in a scaffold outline, don't know why, perhaps to show planners the proposal, imagine if the city council had made a similar request for the "Octagon Tower"

Just quickly read through this thread. Two questions Did Lucas ever have a place on the Radleys, near the railway bridge and secondly, totally unrelated, were AT Gittins ever on the Warwick Rd near Tyseley Lane. Memories from childhood years 1940's 50's!

So a sixteen spot ladybird, thanks Eric,

Playing about with a macro lens I spotted this tiny insect. When enlarged some 300X it's yellow and black somewhat like a ladybird!

This comment struck a chord, twenty five years ago we came to North Devon on holiday and we are here now. If the windows are open we can hear the sea, just as noisy as the M42 in Hopwood, the seagulls make a mess of the car if it left out of the garage.

Have a great day!

Mike, in 1940's my great grand parents lived in a exactly similar house on the corner of Medlicott Rd and Abbotsford Rd.
