I don't remember the trams there either Judy. I always used to go by bus too.

I remember Goya perfume rosie. In the ladies powder room at the Towel Ballroom, there used to be 3 different Goya perfumes in a machine, where you put 6d in and got a lovely squirt of perfume out. I've been trying to remember their names, but it's too long ago for me to recall.

Judy, I had forgotten about those PHUL-NANA cards, and I do remember them now. Vivienne I used to love the smell of California Poppy scent, and used to put it on my neck, by golly I got the rash to end all rashes, so I don't know what it was made with. Maypolebaz, I had a little plastic ice...

Well Stitcher, I can't think of another fountain that looks like that in Brum. Perhaps someone else will have some other ideas.

Stitcher, is this Chamberlain fountain do you think, just near the Town Hall and Art Gallery?

Thank you Paul for your kind thoughts. Archie hasn't got the beautiful flowers around him yet because dying in January there wasn't much going on in the garden, we did however manage to get some Snowdrops for him. When summer comes he will be surrounded by the beautiful flowers I put on the...

Couldn't resist putting this photo of my lovely Archie on here, who sadly died in January, greatly missed.

He's absolutely lovely Lyn. He reminds me of our Archie, who used to sit like an old man laid back in his armchair. You were so lucky to have a beautiful cat like that decide to come and live with you.

You can Judy, in fact I have just bought some to make some gluten free pastry. However, I couldn't stand Stork marg on bread. When they used to have the advert 'Can you tell Stork from butter', I always hoped the man would knock on my door, because I could have won that money easily.

Yes Judy, I do remember knitted swimming costumes, but fortunately never had one, I did have one of those ruched things though that pinched though. I did knit a little pair of trousers and matching top for my son. This is the pattern I still have, I think it was a Woolworths pattern.

Luckily Rupert, we can still buy loose tea here. In fact I do buy it, and use the tea strainer, it makes a far better cup of tea than tea bags.

They might itch a bit Stitcher, if they were knitted in pure wool, as most things were in those days. I remember patterns like this though as late st the 1960's, and I believe I still have one.

So very sorry Sylvia, my thoughts are with you.

Re: pan cakes ; Thank you sistersue61, I shall have to have a go now then.

Re: pan cakes ; So could I Anthea, but I have got to learn to make them with gluten free flour, wonder if they will work?

What a smashing photo, and the days before shops opened on a Sunday, wish they still didn't!!!

Stitcher, I would never eat Shredded Wheat, I thought it was liking eating straw.

I don't think the Carnation Milk would pour from the tin unless there were two holes punched into it Viv.

What a smashing pic Viv. It looks as though the bananas are in some sort of string bags.

I remember VIM too, I think it used to take the surface off the bath as well as the hands using it. I think there is a modern version of VIM which looks like a liquid. Is it possible to still buy LUX flakes for washing delicates?
