Dad's first car - 1939 (I think) Morris 8 Series E, purchased from Monkspath Garage on the Stratford Road, Shirley around 1954 (site later Prophets, now a Toyota dealership). Pictured outside Grandparents' bungalow in Presteigne.

I switched on the TV to keep my little grand-daughter amused. It was in the middle of a wild-life programme. 'Grand-dad what are those?' she asked. Whales I replied. There was then a long pause and a puzzled look on her face. Eventually she said 'That can't be right - Great Granny lives in Wales'!

Just a thought Carolina - if you have house/contents with accidental damage cover it may be worth claiming. My son's partner spilt a cup of coffee over his 2 day old Apple-Mac (yes they're still together!) and the insurance company had it fixed. I guess it may depend on how old the laptop is.

It's unlikely the data will have been lost. Best solution is probably to buy a 2.5in hard drive enclosure for the existing drive (but check the connection cable as some of the new laptops have different usb sockets!). Then when you've transferred your data you can use it to back up your files...

No comment!

Disaaaarster - the final episode has been scrapped :sob:

I've never heard of Beggarly Green (and I was brought up in Olton!). I too found a reference https://midland-ancestors.uk/resources/birmingham/tyai-birmingham/acocks-green/ probably the same one you found but have not been able to find it on a map. Will be interested to know if you find...

Can't find Honey Lane at the moment. Could it be Stoney Lane?

Well remembered Janet. I've just found a map with them all on: https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/414499/282345/13/101329 Your list was all correct except H was Honeysuckle. The rest were Kingcup Laburnum Marigold Nepeta Oleander Primrose Quince Rosemary Snowdrop Thistle Underwood Veronica

That's how we were taught to write a capital E ! :laughing:

My gt g-parents were buried there (1922 and 1928). I got the grave details off the register and took them to the cemetery. They then gave me this map with the location marked (section 24, 7 plots in one direction 29 in the other). The lady was very helpful. Unfortunately the grave was unmarked -...

Buying these is a bit hit and miss! Last one I bought was £11.49 from ebay in 2019 and it's still OK. I did buy two together a few years ago and they both died within a week. Just check that the seller offers a guarantee. Don't expect any of them to last 10 years though!

That's pretty good going! I don't think I've ever had one last longer than 5 years.

I'm assuming this is a laptop? See what happens if you remove the battery and run it off the power supply (charger). If its a desktop it suggests the bios battery needs replacing.

Looks like the corner of Cregoe St and Irving St. The only other Atkinsons pub called The Woodman listed in http://breweryhistory.com/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_Atkinson's_Brewery_Ltd_pubs#Warwickshire was in Summer Lane and I don't think it was on a corner.
