Brilliant! Well Done!!!!

Wow Lyn, Who would have thought that your original post two weeks ago would have resulted in this! Massive WELL DONE everyone!!!

Well done Lyn and everyone else. Very proud of you all. Great team spirit!

Nico, when I worked for Bass Brewers there was a bank in Nottingham changed in to a pub called 'It's inn the Bank', making use of the features like the safe. Most of the pubs around here are demolished and housing built on the ground, thanks to the money grabbing pub chains. Sad!

Well done everyone, wish I was as capable as you!! Brilliant thread, really enjoying it. Anne

That's brilliant Carolina, must get one for Ray. LOL. He laughs so much at some programmes he doesn't hear what they say then expects me to know and I can't hear either. Unbelievable, some of the things they say, I JUST CAN'T STAND THE SCREAMING. (BTW I used to live at Stourport, next to...

I will have to watch it in the conservatory, my husband loves Jeremy Kyle, he's had a sheltered life and can't believe what he sees and hears. Some of my relatives were very wealthy a few generations ago. I don't know where it went, but you never know could be a knock on the door. Although...

My gt Grandad was a steeplejack working on Saltley gasworks when he fell and died. Gosh, I can remember the stink going past on the 160 bus, can smell it now.

That's brilliant. I worked at The Rotunda and St Martin's House.

You was posh Nico!

This is so interesting. I lived in Erdington at one time and also worked for the GPO. Imagine what it was like for these heroes to go to war, what a comparison to being a postman or any other trade, I guess. Anne

Fantastic film!!!! Thank you.

Best Wishes Mike.

I don't think Toyah came from a particularly wealthy family. Her father owned a small woodworking company on The Slough Studley making novelty standard lamps with a spinning wheel attached to the bottom, with separate little stools. He used to take them around to shops to sell. I know because I...

Lovely photo MWS and great that you have his cookery book.

Love them Nico. Well Done. Anne

I went to Mother's on a few occasions, remember sitting on the floor head banging. In 1970 I used to sell hot dogs outside (they were those awful boiled ones with boiled onions Yuck!). The chap I worked for used to ask me to eat one, as the punters came out, and look as if I was really enjoying...

I still have my certificate from 1967 when I walked the No. 11 route with my mates from Coleshill Grammar in aid of charity. Something to do with The Royal Society for the Blind. Will find it out and post a copy. Can remember, it was flipping hard but we had a great day. Anne

Sorry for posting that photo Nico, didn't mean to get you in trouble. Anne

Good for you oldMohawk! Would have loved to see their faces!!! Anne
