My husband worked at Serck Radiator until 1977 on the design of Concord. We were fortunate enough to see it's first public flight at the Paris Air Show. :)Mo

Di - I may be wrong but it sounds as though you think the Anti Malaria tablets are intended to stop the mosquitoes bitting humans. In fact I think it is to give people who don't live in the region where they are being exposed so degree of immunity. But the drugs are different for the different...

Wendy - I just looked at the web cams on the ITV link you put on. I went to Brighton and being 5:30pm here it was 10:30pm there and all the lights were on and the tide was in, it looked lovely. Some of the others in the cities were good as well. Great thanks again.:) Mo

Hi Brenda - Did you click on the link Wendy posted 5 days ago. I was able to view it so you should be able to. I saved it to my desk top.:) Mo

Hi Wendy - loved the film. I'm going to send it to my brother -in-law in the south of England as they didn't see it. Maybe he might recognise his mom. We talked on the phone yesterday. My husband still has to look at it. I used to eat my lunch in the gardens every day, if it was raining I we...

Thanks Wendy - I wish we could have seen the film. I believe the boxes she made she put bows on them. I think she would have been there until about September 1939, maybe she was on the film. I wonder whether John's brother who lives in England saw the program. Was it just on a local TV station...

Charlie - My late mother-in-law made choc boxes. She would have started in the 1920's I think. Her sister was a wages clerk at the same time and until she retired as she never married.:)Mo

Di - The parks are still lovely but Linden Road is so busy now. Sheri - What was your grandparents last name? The photo in the middle to the right of 3 Linden Road is the Carillon, which is opposite the green. It was actually built before Linden Road was put in. The one to the right of the...

Very nice John, and very true. A true friend to me is someone you don't always see or hear from very often but you know they are there. When you do get together it is as though the last time was only yesterday.:)Mo

Sheri - As I think I said earlier in this thread, my husbands family all worked at Cadbury's or for the Cadbury family. Your grand parents might well have known them, they were the Farmers' and the Higgitts'. Here are three more of building in 2005. :)Mo 3 Linden Road, Farmers House. Bournville...

After church in the morning and Sunday dinner my dad would have a rest having been to the Uplands. Mom and I would walk from Uplands Road to William Street what ever the weather to her mom's. We would pick up a block of ice cream and wafers, have tea at Nan's and then our ice cream wafer. I...

We have a lot of mosquito's each summer. They love damp areas, so everyone is being encouraged to drain any standing water in their gardens but if you are at a marsh or pond there is nothing you can do. Our daughter works outside and in the bush during the summer. She uses Deep Woods Off and...

Sheri - below is a photo of Bournville Junior School, which is opposite the Green. My husband went there as his family lived just up the road, on Linden Road. Tydavnet - The other photo is me with one of the local policemen just going to Bournville School to talk to the children. They get...

Those of us brought up in the 'post war' years would find it very difficult not to have 'feelings' whether it be from a political point of view or living conditions. We were very lucky as far as housing was concerned, we only had some of our windows blown out. Where as some of our neighbours...

Here are some more from someone else. They maybe repeats of other posts but I thought they were interesting.:)Mo Useful Remedies Who knew?Eliminate ear mites. All it takes is a few drops of Wesson Corn Oil in your cat's or dog's ear... massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily...

I can't find the thread but someone was asking about remedies for a kidney or bladder infection and we said Cranberry juice. I received this today not sure whether it might work.

I found this most interesting Beryl. Your interest in history particularly World War 2 history is phenomenal. There are always going to be differing versions of events as history books like the Bible are peoples memories and people remember things differently. Even if we were alive during an...
