Hi Peg Monkey, I've mentioned somewhere before that my Mom was the managers of the Wimpy Bar in Snow Hill when it originally opened and then moved to do the same when they opened the more up market branch in Broad St. I don't think I ever went to the Snow Hill one and think I only went to the...

Vehicles say no Viv, definitely Austin A45. Sorry Tim.

Think you are pretty right Paul.

Remember seeing a model of a Lancaster on Road Show ,very impressive as it was a one off, very detailed and quite large. I don't think they were able to give a valuation as it was a one off and would depend o n several factors. Anyone know anymore as I'm sort of on the sidelines regarding...

They sure take us back to earlier days Cheers Tim

At a guess I think those maybe water containers and bunkers for sand to deal with incendiary bombs. That would make the date during the WWII. Cheers Tim.

The joke here in Oz is that they don't have Summer Time in Queensland as they think the extra daylight hour will fade the curtains

Why not says I! We are one big happy family (ain't we?)

Lyn, must have been 1947 as I came to Oz in 1961. Cheers Tim

An apology, the unfortunate girl was actually Christine Cox who I had morphed with another of my childhood non sweethearts Hazel Booth. 65 years is even a bit more confused in my memory than what I did last week. Cheers Tim

I can remember the lake at Cannon Hill Park being frozen, maybe 1947.

Well back again . Neville I'm sure I knew Keith Abbot as Willie and believe that as a youngster he had polio and used swimming as a aid to his recovery. He became very good at it and I remember seeing him in a schools competition at Moseley Rd. Baths. He became a hero to a lot of us when he...
