Yes I did Beryl, I got into trouble for laughing as well. If I saw the funny side of something I would laugh until the tears ran down my face. Mo

If you have one of the front of the Maternity as it was in 1972 that would be great if you can post it. I would like to be able to print it if I may. :) Mo

We had a shop by the school gate that sold broken crisps, I loved them. We were not allowed to eat them in class so we used to pretend to get something out of our desks and take a mouthful. Trouble was they were greasy so if we weren't careful there were tell tale fingerprints on our books...

That has changed since our children were born. What a great design for the new hospital. I'm still hoping to get a photo of the Maternity as it was in 1972. I should check the Internet, I might find one. :) Mo

I just hated swimming lessons at Grove Lane and my dad taught me to swim in the lido at Minehead. Hopefully Lyn will takes some photos when she is there. Mo

That is interesting Tardebigge prices look good as well, shipping would be expensive I guess. I bought white bread by mistake as we only eat whole wheat so I'm going to make a bread and butter pudding I fine it lighter than a bread pudding. Jean, I remember so many of the things you mention...

Mike I didn't know that. I got some fresh eggs from the farm recently, a mixture of turkey, duck and chicken eggs. I made omelets with some and fried one or two and that is exactly what I thought, that they weren't cooked enough. Glad you mentioned that. Mo

Re: City Centre Photo Album We thought the walk only areas were nice when we were there in 2005 and the modern barrow boys like this flower seller. I'm not sure how much has changed in the past three years but we were glad they designed the Bull Ring so that there is still a view of St Martins. Mo

That si so interesting Lloyd about the Bundy Clocks. I used to check my watch every day by the one at the terminus on Oxhill Road by the Uplands Pub. So that I didn't miss my bus in the morning. Glad the buses didn't have doors in those days, for the number of times I had to run and jump on as...

Re: City Centre Photo Album Love the photo on #38 reminds me of my hubby in the morning on a recent camping trip, you know how the grass is always wet. Someone thought it was really funny as they come from the Taiwan not really a Canadian thing either. Phil when was that picture taken of the...

Re: City Centre Photo Album Good morning Bob, well I guess it is afternoon there. Very dull here but still warm. Is it just old photos or fairly recent ones as well that you would like posted? Have you seen this web site, it has loads of information but not just about the inner city...

Just curious Tammy, what do you feel is the gap is in the Handsworth History? Is just that those years are not mentioned. Like many of the other folks on here I was brought up in Handsworth. Hope your research is going well. Mo

Re: City Centre Photo Album Jenny and Di great web site. That is how I remember everything when I was young. I really liked the photos of the Old Bull Ring and the thing that hit me was the ladies and the little girls in their pretty dresses. Great thread Bob. Mo

Hi Charlie - I went to Handsworth Wood Girls, left in 1959. As Jenny said go to Friends Reunite, I have had a number of school friends contact me from there especially now it is free. Mo

In about 1949/50 my brother and one of his scouting friends rode one on a camping trip. You really can't be someone who has to have control if you are on the back eh! I must have the photo somewhere. They look such fun but rarely see them now.:)Mo

Ann - The ironic part was that most of those killed and injured especially in what we called the Hole in the Wall were young Irish people.:(Mo

The Mulberry Bush, at the foot of the Rotunda, and the Tavern in the Town, a basement pub on New Street. That day we were in that area doing Christmas shopping as it was November 1974 but had left before the bombs went off in the evening. It was a while before we went shopping in the city again...

That is interesting Wales.:) Mo
