Me too. Perhaps I was behind you in the queue

Hi Jardene If you go to Phil's post#6 there is a photo of the pub. At the time it was taken the place was an M&B house. Nodd K-D

Using the donate button is not working for me. I would like to donate by debit card. All panels filled in correctly. Press agree and donate. Nothing happens. I do not want to open a paypal account. Help.

Spent some time in this pub as part of the Under Age Drinking Team.:D:D:D

No idea where thst last post came from. Please ignore. :(

Mike, I take my hat off to you. That is a brilliant piece of research and done overnight! It has taken me several years to learn nothing. It certainly had an interesting past. My younger brother found a service pattern.38 revolver in the loft,I wonder who that belonged to. My guess would be...

Hi Mike, Looking at the Monument Rd map I believe the property marked BM 521 77 is number 180. If it is I lived there for about 5 years before moving to Hockley. I have had long time interest in this property but can't find anything about it anywhere. Any idea where I could find anything...

Your thought was bang on. Thanks. All have to do is find out where else he served. If I get his Regimental number I shall check Army records. Once again thanks. Nodd K-D

Hi Eric, Thanks for that link.Very interesting but just adds to the confusion of my fathers service. According to his service record he started in the GOC.The next 2 entries are unreadable,only the last entry,Loyal R is readable. I have a photograph of him wearing a beret, the badge is a dragon...

I recently found my father's service record card,he is recorded as being discharged from what appears to be the Loyal R. I have never heard of that Regiment/organisation. Anyone here who knows? I would be grateful for any help. Nodd the baffled.

She will be missed. Great comic character. RIP Jean Fergusson.

Thanks for that. Really hacked off now,I hate having to tell him that he's right. Nodd K-D

All you fish &chip shop experts please help settle an argument between myself and my brother. In the 50's our Nan Soady lived at 28 Palmerston Rd, Sparkbrook. It was almost on the corner with Grantham Rd. Next door was a shop,I am convinced it was a fish&chip shop my brother says it wasn't but...

How ever did they get away with this sort of thing? Today they would be in Gaol.

4th of May 1965, probably the only day I was not caned/slippered/ smacked or rulered at one of the four schools I attended in Birmingham. One day at Hartfield Crescent school whatever I had done was so bad the headmaster decided i was to be caned in front of the whole school. He used the cane...
