A hairdo at Raymond's, Mr Teasy Weazy’s was more of a roleplay experience, an expensive treat, especially if Mr Raymond did it. You did not tell him how you wated it, he told you apparently.

Lyn that’s a late 50's early 60's Cast in Stitu concrete roof. Known as self-supporting giving a clear open space inside. There is also one on the Co-op in Kingstanding. Very beautify and hellishly expensive to build.

What a super job you’re doing there, very interesting and much appreciated

I vaguely remember it. The place looked like it was not really finished off after building it, making it look quite uninviting

A few other 1980’s kitchen classics

Strangely I was also aware of this number and how it compares today, less than 10 fatality’s a year. Improvements in car braking system, better...

Hi and welcome to Birmingham History Forum Have you looked on any of the online auction sites like eBay? There seems to be a couple of lookalikes here...

I remember him. He would stand by one of the arcades holding his white stick up and boxes or books of matches between his fingers. He would invite you to just take a box and drop the money in a box below. Someone once told me that he knew the sound of the right amount of money dropped and would...
