I may be wrong here but the way the large maps are sliced here seem to show the wrong area. From the look of the pictures, you should be seeing St Phillips behind the building. This link takes you to a different version of the Westley Map...

While the top picture was at the end of Wenman Street, what you're seeing is Edward Road in front of the shop and Vincent Street behind it. Wenman Street would be off to the left of the picture and running to the left with only a slight angle toward the top of the picture. Given the new houses...

Prices seem to go up and down and quality is just as likely to change there as anywhere. Most likely issues I get with clothing is the stitching on jacket pockets that cuts into the fabric. ... and I bought 3 pairs of denim jeans in Primark for £3 each at the beginning of this year. Hope they...

There's an odd frequent misconception. People think that because they use Linux they aren't going to get virus/malware attacks. Given the fact that a (cut-down) version of Linux is now the most used on the planet, it's extremely unlikely that the usual attackers won't try. You should be able to...

The article above shows several stations on the line. One looks like thy'd be re-opening the old Camp Hill station as well as King's Heath and Moseley. That should irritate the people that campaigned for a "Balsall Heath" station. Then again, if they're going to call it the Camp Hill line...

One thing I remember from the Look & Learn in the days of the Ranger incorporation was a strip that was called either "Britons never shall be slaves" or "In the days of good queen cleo". As far as I can tell they were the earliest English versions of the Asterix strip and, although they kept all...

Every so often, they change the channels available on freeview. Earlier this year they added a new channel called Talking Pictures (channel 81). They run old (mostly British) movies and the odd TV show. Look at the schedule on the TV guide. You might see something you remember.

There have been a lot of Irish migrants through Birmingham over the years. It's not surprising there would be a version of the Unionists here. There were probably a lot of Republicans as well but most of the time they would have been better hidden. The Conservative ties with the Unionists aren't...

There are, apparently, a lot of things that could cause the problem. Take a look at https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-touchscreen-windows-10/ For some possible solutions.

I'm not sure what really ended the use of the tunnel but I remember having to ride out on the van Christmas 1978 and throw bags onto the train at Curzon Street. Maybe that was just parcels but, if they were using that as the loading point, you could see why they'd stop using the tunnels.

All that was before my time but I do remember unseasonal snow one summer https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/snow-scenes-june-1975---9375720 . It seems someone else thinks that happened a year later...

From the link at the end it comes from the British Pathe stream on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/britishpathe You might also try their website https://www.britishpathe.com/

I've seen a few displays of 3D printers in the last few years and these designs don't really fit with them. Printers are more appropriate to individual objects than scenes. If there is an output to video rather than still, it might be thought of as a starter in animation but it is very basic. If...

Isn't that the DeNiro monologue from Taxi Driver? Trivial point - he did the whole bit again in "The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle". It starts "Are you talking to me?"

As above, I've not tried downloading audio from Youtube and I have tried audacity as a recorder. Audacity can be a pain to setup and I've had some computers that require a little wiring (an audio cable from the speaker socket to the microphone socket) to make the recording work. there do seem...

You can't. Most likely it's either bitcomet taking its time to realise that the connection has gone and the transfer rates are averaged over time, the same emptying its cache, or whatever was telling you that the connection was gone wasn't entirely accurate.

Nothing about Heeley's being a brewery but, from the stamp on the bottom, your bottle dates from 1892-1913. The makers of the bottle are Cannington, Shaw & Company Limited of St. Helens who added the "Ltd" in 1892 and joined United Glass Bottle Manufacturers in 1913. From that, I doubt you're...

Looked at the page. The list in grey on black of pubs is almost invisible. Any chance of a change of colour scheme?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/12/06/vinyl-albums-outsell-digital-downloads-first-time/ https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/dec/06/tables-turned-as-vinyl-records-outsell-digital-in-uk-for-first-time These are two of the newspaper reports. There are a lot more.

They're probably shifting to vinyl on account of an article at the end of last year saying vinyl outsold downloads last year although that was mostly down to the price difference (vinyl costs 10-20 times as much) although I daresay the recent wave of portable record players helped as well. The...
