Are you sure it wasn't the Schweppes sign you are thinking of which was on the side of the building as you came up from Digbeth, on the right opposite the church? There was a row of shops underneath including the Slow Boat chinese restaurant and I think a car park above. The sign faced towards...

Unfortunately much of the definition has been lost, particularly at the side of the face. If it's there on the original perhaps you could try scanning again? This is the best I can do:

If you can find out when they died https://birminghamburialrecords.co.uk/ may help.

I had the same - woke up about 1am, felt very cold and was shivering quite badly. Interestingly a doctor on the TV a few days later was talking about this and said it seemed to occur (sometimes) if you had already had Covid! This backed up my suspicions that I may have caught C-19 around...

And a sore arm :(

Not quite sure how the system works! My wife had one of those letters on Tuesday but as I hadn't had one she said she'd wait a few days until I received mine. However the same afternoon I had a phone call from my surgery giving me an appointment for the Friday so I asked if Joyce could have hers...

Mrs J and I both had ours yesterday - the Astra Zeneca one. Quite well organised at Monkspath Surgery.

I spent a total of about 2 years there between 1960 and 1965. Last year I made a list of all those I could remember from that time (for lack of anything else to do!) and so far the list totals 62. Edit now 63 - just thought of someone else!

I also got the error message when I tried to upload to coppermine but on closer inspection noticed that the photo had in fact uploaded! However Old Mohawks suggestion about putting the picture into an old post gave me an idea - I had already posted the photo on Facebook and was able to use the...

Help! I've been trying to add a photo to a conversation but it wants a URL with no option to insert directly. Could someone please remind me how to do it?

Always carried a penknife as did most of my collegues and I was never aware of anyone using one as a weapon!

There must have been something in the air at Wharf Lane which gave people long life - Frank Watkins and Nigel Plowman both lived into their 90's. I used to see your Dad from time to time in Solihull. Last time we had a chat he told me he was living in a flat in or off Lode Lane so I presume...

Janice - small world! I spent a lot of time with the commercial engineers at Solihull when I was a student apprentice and knew your dad well. I very much enjoyed working there - all the members of that district were great. I was hoping to join the staff there but unfortunately was appointed to...

I was with the MEB from 1960 to 1967. At that time Birmingham Area was divided into 5 'districts' - Birmingham North-West (Henrietta Street then Summer Lane), Birmingham North-East (not sure if it was then in George Road as I never went there), Birmingham South-West (Kings Road, Kings Heath)...

In early '60s I used to buy TV aerials and associated items such as splitter boxes from a shop which I think was Plotniks. If I remember correctly it was up Soho Road or near abouts. Can anyone recall it? Before the days of Maplins!

That's brilliant OM. I can't compete with that! John

Well I like a challenge! I'm working on it but may take a while.

It's actually his 83rd birthday today (30th November)!
