Not sure if this has been previously posted, but I haven't seen it until now. Watching it made me a little annoyed...I felt very uncomfortable with the condescending dialogue, at least that was my take on it. No Brummie accents until the midway mark, just a heavy dose of BBC lingo among the...

When you you think that I left Brum at 16, lived in Crawley, Sussex for 10 years and emigrated to Canada 56 years ago, one might believe that my Brummie accent would have bit the dust...not so. It's still my predominant lingo and I still identify as a Brummie, which still garners much attention...

I went there...it was called Sunshine Corner. Dave A

Really don't know that. In fact I did not stick around after the train arrived to see if the train went on. I had to get home to tea in Aston...BTW, the Patriot in the photo is 45531 Sir Frederick Harrison. Dave A

We just used our thumbs... Dave A

I can drink milk now if it's cold, but that just goes to show that the cold kills the taste. Dave A
