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...

These were indeed covers over entrances to cellars. During the war there were a number of them in Birmingham city centre. I remember one particular one outside C&A. The reason for this is that just after the war the King & Queen visited Birmingham and Mom and I went to see them. To get a better...

Not only dangers of being blown up, but look how close they were working to those leather belts driving the machines. Certainly no health and safety. When I worked at McKecknie Brothers in Ladywood in late 40s my uncle was the works photographer and had to take photographs of all accidents, many...

Thanks so much for those Lynn. Those pics of the Lickey Hills brings back so many memories for me when our neighbours used to take my brother and I regularly. That was over 80 years ago !! The thought of the tram rocking away down the Bristol Road with us always in the open front on top deck...

We have three squirrels come into the garden. Love to watch their antics

They know who loves them Steve. Great photos again

Not sure if this is in the right thread but thought it may be interesting to someone. In the Computer Active fortnightly magazine they include a page called Family Tree. In the current one it is about "Search Old Bailey criminal records. It is free and contains information concerning family...

Just received my order of five Calla Lily bulbs which I intend putting in pots, maybe the end of March. I can't remember who put a photo on last year of theirs, which inspired me to buy some. Can you tell me what sort of spread they are so I can decide the size of pots I will put them in Thanks...

To think they pay a good price for buying holes !!!!

I look at mine on desk top and everything is as normal for me

I never understood why guys turned down their wellies Pete. Neither do I understand why, in the deepest of snow, they just wear trainers, that have cost them a bomb, to clear it away. Pride ????
