Dennis I loved your post on the QE. I worked at the General in the X-ray dept office and then as a ward clerk for Sister Roberts during the 1960's until I got married. Both our children were born at the QE one in 1972 and the other in 1975 after moving to Canada in 1977 I realised just how...

I thought you might like to watch this. There are other videos which you might have access to as well when you click on here. This song is about the hwy 401 that I mentioned in the previous post and is close to our house. Mo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWwB9NwDpq0

Canada lost another four soldiers and a journalist last week. They returned home on Sunday, we waited for the convoy to come along the Hwy of Heroes as the 401 from Trenton to Toronto is now called. We were on the bridge over the hwy in Ajax with at least 100 more people. All the bridges on the...

I was a guide then Jenny and we went to Windsor Castle in 1957 to see Lady BP. My brother was camping at Sutton Park with the Yorks Wood Rovers and we went to visit. Mo

Very Happy Christmas to everyone who skated at the old rink. I still have so many memories of those days even though it was a long time ago. Best wishes for 2010. :) Maureen Christmas 1954

Yes Mike we were just leaving. We really enjoyed our stay there and walking around Bournville, although Cadbury's had changed a lot. Mo

Mike - We stayed at Ye Old Farm Inn at Bournville in 2005, my husband was brought up on Linden Road and lived there until 1968 when we got married. This was the Inn when we stayed there, it was very nice. I may have posted these before. Mo

Hi Gordon, sorry I have only just got back to look at this thread. Do you know where your Wendy lived or went to school? I think she might be too young to be the girl I was in school with, she would have been born around 1944-5. Thanks for posting the information though. :) Mo

Re: Cadbury's Bournville Lerrylyngal - I also worked at Cadbury's in the late 60's and early 70's. I worked in Sales Marketing and we would be given boxes of new lines to try. Like you I eat very little chocolate but I must admit Cadbury's is still the best chocolate.:) Mo

Gordon - I may have asked you this before but I went to school with a girl called Wendy Thursfield do you have a relative with that name. We lived in Handsworth and she would be in her mid 60's now. :) Maureen

Thanks Mik this is what I was looking for not sure how I missed it :)Mo https://www.handsworthhistory.co.uk/ Thanks for you help Jenny. :)

My dad used to give me an envelope which I had to put through someones front window at the top of Uplands Road. We lived at the bottom near Sandwell Road. Then I would have to go and get an Argus for him on a Saturday night from the paper shop. Mo

Can we still access the Birmingham History i.e. Handsworth, Aston and other areas? The many memories that were written up by members and submitted. Is that a separate web site now? :rolleyes: Mo

That was always one of my sayings. lol Mo

We have a weed on our lawn called creeping charlie. If you know what it is any ideas how to get rid of it. It is very invasive and goes into the beds and every where it can. Nice and green but short of pulling it up which is not an opion as there is so much we need to take up the whole lawn...

I have been here over 30 years and people think I have just arrived. Although people don't always know other than the Midlands. I still use UK terms for things like tinned fruit here it is canned fruit but maybe that is the term used in the UK now. I still say apricot and tomato as I always...

Very nice Alf I like that.. I thought you spent most of the day playing games on Face Book. I have no idea how you get those scores you are brilliant at it. :) Mo

Re: Cadbury's Bournville Hi Bill - was your question to me. My last name is Farmer or rather my married name, so that is my husbands family. :) Mo
