Great photo Phil, that really is how I remember it. Mo

Rupert, don't you get going any where. You are one of this community of friends. You are always articulate and contribute knowledgeable posts to many of the threads. Look forward to seeing you on the many more threads on the forum. Mo

I remember the juke box and spent may hours in the cafe with my mom and friends and their parents. The Fords and the Cannons were always there, there were others but I can't remember their names. I used to have beans on toast most late afternoons before the figure patch. Then we would have our...

This was the Saturday morning group around 1954. I'm the one on Little Bo Peep's right. You might know some of the faces on there. A lot of us started lessons on Saturday morning and then went onto private. Who did you have for teachers, Wendy. You must have been there at the same time as me, I...

Wendy- What # post are you referring to in your post. The photo in 107 must have been the late 1950's as I started skating in 1953 and Janet was quite young then and so was Bernard. I have a photo I must try and find of one of the shows we were in at Christmas, maybe that has a date on. Did you...

I have never been like condensed milk, unless it is in a fudge recipe or coconut pyramids. Mo

I have found this thread so interesting. Like so many of you I remember all the remedies butter was used for. One of my favourites things was on bread with sugar sprinkled on it. From a fairly young age I would have dreadful pains suddenly come on in my stomach and until about 25 years ago had...

Oh Jenny - I haven't even open your link and you have me singing the muffin the mule song, how do we remember these things but what happened an hour ago we have to think about. I have looked at the link and saved it, I must go through them as I used to enough so many of those things. London to...

It doesn't matter what accent or dialect is or what country you come from there will be someone who doesn't like it. Some people don't like New York accents and there are many more but as Mermaid says that is who you are. What give the best impression is the person behind the accent. Mo

Nice photo or the Rookery Cinema Phil, glad to see it was still standing and as you said maybe because it is a temple. There are a few small mercy's. I lived on Uplands Road so often walked past there to my Nan's on Victoria Road but as I said before you do wonder about your memory when you have...

You are right Stitcher there wasn't one on Grove Lane I didn't know there was another Grove Lane. I thought there was one on Rookery Road, I remembered that but you do wonder whether your memory is playing tricks sometimes. When you don't live there and still go past these places you forget...

I was looking for something on Rookery Road and found thid web site. If you haven't seen it, some nice old pictures on it. Mo...

That was not Grove Lane Handsworth then Stitcher?Was there a Rookery Road Cinema? Mo

I just received this from a friend and thought although some relates to Canadian things which we don't remember you might enjoy it as. Mo 'Hey Dad,' one of my kids asked the other day, 'What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?' </B>'We didn't have fast food when I was...

Where was the Grove Cinema Stitcher? Mo

What makes you feel that it was pre war, Big Gee? Mo

Lovely photo Phil, are they originals or from a web site? It would be wonderful to have the originals in that condition. How a lot of us remember Corporation St. I'm sure. Mo

What great photos John. Had the same look as Henley in Arden. Mo

I remember those David, in fact there still are some in some of the camping grounds here in Canada. I would hate to have one every day though, we really are spoilt now. But as it is today, freezing, I prefer the inside loo. Mo
