I had a call on Friday evening giving me an appointment for Saturday evening at local Leisure Centre. All went well and cannot praise them all enough for their care and organisation. Given appointment for 20th March for 2nd one. It was the pfizer one which is being used throughout the Black...

Just enjoyed my Saturday Fry up, Sausage, bacon, Spaghetti, Fried bread and fried tomato. Now 89 not about to change !!! Can vouch for the Yorkshire folk having cheese with Christmas cake. Couldn't believe it when living there and my future mother in law wanted me to do likewise. Still remember...

Many of the things spoken of already were superstitions of my Mom. She also told us not to walk under ladders as it brought bad luck. So what did Neville do ??? Naughty boy !! Find as many ladders as I could to walk under, even when there was guy working up above [ much to their disgust ]

Love those paintings !

Anyone know what Tech. schools were involved. I started at Handsworth Tech early 1945 but didn't here of anything like this that had taken place

Edit. Post moved here from another thread. Following on from Dave's question and having just read reply from oldMohawk on Christmas 2020 thread about antivirus jab I wondered if there should be a separate thread for this too as I am sure over the coming months there will be number of folk...

Edit. The following extract was copied from another thread. ................. asking if those who have had the jab had anything said to them about the requirement to continue wearing a mask. The reason I ask this is, I have heard two say so far that when they have had their second jab they...

Agree with all that's been said, thanks to all who run this site. Since lock down I've been on more and more and each day more amazed at the information out there, and for the help everyone gives. Have a great Christmas despite the problems, and a happier New Year than the one that's drawing to...

Not sure what dates you lived in Doidge Road Smudger but don't remember any lads of that name

My contribution to this thread will perhaps be of interest to Smudger as he mentioned living near Brookvale park. I did also, in Abbey Road, George Road end, in one of the Semi detached Council houses. [Where did you live Smudger?] Ours were lovely houses having three bedrooms, a large hallway...

Love that recording of O Holy Night, really lifted my spirit this morning so thanks. As far as visiting or accepting visits this Christmas, as Lynn said, go with your heart. You know those who you would love to be with and whether or not they have been sensible to keep themselves away from it...

As a Brownhills resident found this most interesting

Best laugh I've had for ages. Thanks for that

We still believe in the healing power of Zam-buk and disappointed when we could no longer get it. However, about twelve months ago saw some in a catalogue. Price was terrible, about £6 for a little tin. Still bought it though. Still as good as ever. As far as Virol is concerned, can anyone...

This thread stirs up memories of our old 'black lead grate' as it was called. Arriving home from school to a roaring fire on winters day and sitting in front of it toasting some bread on the old wire toasting fork. As we had no other means of heat in the house mom often used bricks or the oven...

Missing going into four care homes this year with our Pastor to sing the usual carols. All the residents enjoyed it, and many appearing to be asleep, suddenly woke and joined in. Many of them in tears as it brought back lovely memories Hope next year better
