Another problem which has developed over the last two week with which I need help please. When I try to log into BHF or any other site I get a screen which says "Your Ad Blocker is obsolete and blocking the loading of ....." In the top left corner it says "This is in Chrome web store". It...

Lovely pics again Steve. Your garden must look lovely with such a variety of plants and colours. We don't have any lawns front or back. Much prefer bushes etc that give us colour throughout the year

Amazing how many birds are still foraging in our garden for stuff to build nests. This morning pigeons and blackbirds flying off with long strands of stuff

That is a blast from the past. Bought many tools from there. From what I remember they had literally everything

As I was reading this thread yesterday I was trying to recall when we last had them come round here. Must have been well before pandemic. . Lo and behold at 5.30 one pulled up at the end of our drive

Looking at the list Viv put on of houses and residents it amazes me that in some streets the average was 8. A little overcrowded I would say.

Yes Warren, I'm sure we are all thankful for the work you put into maintaining this site. Like life itself, there is always something that happens we don't plan for and which brings annoyance

Like Banjo on other thread, Humix videos on every page today

I hadn't seen this thread before but what memories it brings back. We lived in Abbey Road, Erdington and even then the kitchen was nearly as big as our present kitchen/diner In one corner it was bricked off to form a pantry and in the other corner stood a very large boiler with gas ring...

Thanks for advice Morturn. Started the MRT at 12.30 and when I went to bed at 11.30 it was still going. It had scanned over two million by that time. When I looked this morning it said no infection had been found at all. Whilst problems remain it has not been as bad so far this morning

Don't know if any of the wonderful Wiz Kids can help with two irritating problems I have on my desk top at the moment I keep getting two pop up boxes coming up. For the last few weeks while I am searching for something, or even scrolling down a page like this one , a box comes up saying "Page...

Love your pics Kat. I'm sure you get a lot of joy out of the garden even if it is only looking at it through your window while it is raining

That's my kind of toy Pete !!! Would love to go whizzing round on that that

I had one of those saws Viv, probably about 9 when I had it. I still have it for memory sake. Making model planes during the war was my hobby, and working with wood has always been a joy to me

I would be glad if someone can remind me how to contact a particular person, as I would like more info. from John L about he shop he mentions in #20 , so that any conversation we have does not become distraction from the thread. Thanks.

Many years ago we used attend the Salvation Army in Witton Lodge Road which was an old wooden building. Closed down in January 1981 and replaced by a brick built Church

There was a number of them until recently in Brownhills, Rushall areas of Walsall. Amazing how long some have existed, surely down to the quality of the galvanisation. Interesting thread which I am sure will be expanded upon in the coming days.

Seems to be good here. Thanks Warren for everything you do

Sounds good Lynn. By the time you have done yours you will have the skill to do mine also !!!

The sad story of the bombing of the BSA brings back so many memories. My Dad worked there at that time although on day shift. At the end of the week it was bombed, he had to go to pick up his wages. He let me go with him and I had to wait outside the gates whilst he went in. Right next to the...
