There may well be other reasons that make streets look more compressed or crowded now than in the past. Early photos may have been taken with shorter focal length lenses that would have had a wider field of vision, probably deliberatley used to give a greater aspect to the view. Modern cameras...

Im sorry to hear of your loss Old Mowhawk, my deepest sympathy.

Of course the main problem with an afternoon tea dance was the inevitable spillage of ones earl grey on ones best suit whilst doing the fox trot.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/48235702@N06/5555391325/ I took this photo this morning whilst on a strole to Amblecote. Not a bad shot as I was some distance away and was using a fair amount of "zoom" There are a few electric floats still in regular use around here, I will try to capture them...

Hi 6918, I believe Mr Roger DeBoer had aquired a milk float and had to lower his garage floor in order to accomodate it, this I like.

Our milk is now back to being delivered by electric float. There are at least two, probably more in operation in this area. Im no ex[pert on these matters but a few years back I followed one going through Wolverhampton, on the ring road, and it was travelling at a very fair rate of knots...

Re: Butchers transferes That building has quite an Art Deco feel to it, any idea when it was built Bernie?

An interesting company, when I hear that nmae I immediately think about the NSU Ro 80 the first production car witha Wankel rotary engine. I believe NSU became part of what we now know as Audi.

I remember the car attachement and I always associated this earthing static to stop car sickness. In theory it should be fairly safe in a car as it is insulated by the rubber tyres. Electricity will always find the least resistance to earth. So attaching an earthing device would in theory...

Hello Barrie, I to am so sorry to read about your loss but what a lovely way to go. Will be thinking about you.

Heres a few names from the past: Sugden Pick ups from Yorshire. Wharfedale famed for their speakers from Idle, Yorks. Now just a brand name Goodmans also famed for speakers from Wembley, Now just another brand name. Armstrong , I once had a tuner /amp from this company Garrard from...

I never thought I would be enthusing about milk floats but I have seen quite a few about. Some of them have chassis that are amazingly old and have recieved new float bodies. I suspect they have recieved other upgrades as well because they seem to have gained quite a credible turn of speed, far...

Up until about two weeks ago our milk was delevered by an electric float, unfortunately I still have not got around to taking its photo. However over the last week or so we have a different roundsman and he is using a Ford transit!! There is another roundsman in the area still using an...

Hi Rupert, I always considered these machines as a bit of an old mans car, when I was younger of course, many years ago a friend of mine happened to have one, he bought and sold on a regular basis and he asked me to drive it just down the road for him. I cant rememebr if it was a 90/100 or...

Hi Mike, its a classic in my book.

Ladies and Gents, suppose you won a few bob on Ernie or came into a few bob from some other good fortune and you decide to but a classic car, What would be your choice? The cash limit is aroud the £10-15K mark. Incidently I dont want anyone thinking that this sort of fortune has come my way...

My money is on "Sets" I think cobbles are more random, btw I dont have any old fivers! Cheers Bill
