This is an excellent website Andy - I look forward to reading your posts!!

I think Joe Wheelers was a bookies.

Lovely early morning last quarter moon today:-

Following on from my previous post #98 in this thread, I have found my copy of the TV Century 21 Special produced for the first Thunderbirds feature film from 1966. You don't get this much joy for three and six these days!!! If anyone is interested I can scan the whole magazine in...

We have been using Tuckeys for a few years now - not the cheapest but you pay for quality. Their meat is superb, they will always find you a bone or two for the dogs, Mrs Tuckey will tell you how to cook it and Mr Tuckey (bless him!!!) will sell you anything!!! Well into his eighties now but...

And another - this time running top left to bottom right:-

I would happily settle for the Bentley Blower kit at that price!!!

Frozen fence defrosting in the back garden...........

WOW!! Post early on the 24th for delivery by Christmas - in 1878 - steam trains and horse-drawn carriages!!!! Now you could post a card in the middle of May and it would struggle to arrive in time for Christmas. Thats progress for you.........

This could be a scam - usually the call is from your "internet provider" as the scammers do not know who you use. Easy way to check - go to bt.com and you can run an online check in seconds to see if there are any known faults in phones or broadband services in your area. You do not have to log...

Hi David - glad you found it!! You have to check all photos from surrounding areas - sometimes the squares are in the wrong place - others are from a lower height so you can see far more detail. I recommend a large beer (or 3) and plenty of patience - there are some absolute belters on this site...

Actually you have the squares / dots - you have just zoomed in a bit too far! Check all photos from surrounding areas (the one I posted above were from Five Ways looking westwards). As well as the highlighted photos if you click an orange area (if it has one - not all do) you will get RAF or...

You should see something like this - this is the Ladywood area:- Purple squares are old images, red dots are modern ones. It usually starts with a map of GB - then you can selectively use the +/- buttons top left to get to the are you want - or type Ladywood in the search box. When you click...

This is true. I've been looking on the aerial photos to find images of where I was brung up in Guildford Street Newtown - success!!! Note - if you zoom in using the top right arrow it can sometimes take a few seconds for the higher resolution image to post - but it is usually worth the wait.

Got a slightly better image here - taken on a proper camera with a 10mm wide angle lens:-
