    Birmingham in 1950s

    Like a lot of members on the Forum I've been lucky enough to have been born in the 30s and seen the 40,50,60,70,80, 90 & the first 10 years almost of the 00s and a lot of memories which I'm grateful for and not had many bad memories, sadly my younger Sister didn't make it.

    Birmingham in 1950s

    The ring and ride.

    Our service is manned by volunteers 10am till 2pm it is a charity the driver always turns up on time. If you find time raise some money for them they are worth their weight in Gold, I find sending them some Coffee Tea and Sugar helps.:)

    The ring and ride.

    Yes I used a ring and ride service from Felixstowe which is about 6 miles away use it most weeks for shopping. They use Mini Buses and private cars. I use one particular driver every time who drives the latest Volvo Estate, he picks me up at my gate, helps me put the bags in back of the car...
