All you fish &chip shop experts please help settle an argument between myself and my brother. In the 50's our Nan Soady lived at 28 Palmerston Rd, Sparkbrook. It was almost on the corner with Grantham Rd. Next door was a shop,I am convinced it was a fish&chip shop my brother says it wasn't but...

How ever did they get away with this sort of thing? Today they would be in Gaol.

4th of May 1965, probably the only day I was not caned/slippered/ smacked or rulered at one of the four schools I attended in Birmingham. One day at Hartfield Crescent school whatever I had done was so bad the headmaster decided i was to be caned in front of the whole school. He used the cane...

Hi Lozellian Fawlty Towers excellent comedy. I have all the episodes on DVD but still watch when it is shown on tv. My wife's company once held its Christmas function at the hotel that inspired John Cleese to write the series. Didn't really rate the first Black Adder series, the remainder were...

Hi Lozellian, From my previous and current posts with Astoness I believe Sandra went to Lozells Girls School. Sandra lived at the far side of Burberry St park.(the far side from Farm St that is.)

Agreed. I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday and I have weetabix every day.
