    Traditional Brummie Food

    My mom was a pastry cook at IMI and she made steamed spotted thingamejig and it was delicious. She also made it with sultanas but not sure what that one was called. I loved it with treacle the best. I hate sweet things these days though. I still cook bubble and squeak the traditional way.

    St Margarets Hospital - Great Barr

    Martin there is a facebook page on St Margaret's but they only allow people on there who have connections with the old hospital. I am on there because my Aunt Phyllis was a nurse there for many years. You could private message one of them. This is a photo of Aunt Phyllis in her nurses uniform.

    Will show this photo to Pete to see if he remembers you two. I am sure I have heard your names come up in conversation when chatting with my brother Albert Lyndon who was a checker at Ansells then moved to Aldridge and Gravelly Park depots as did Pete.
