    Nothing open here in Wales till at least the 13/7 & then outside facilities are required I believe. My nearest pub is about 150 yards away, with a Wetherspoons 500 yards in the other direction.

    Sorry, to hear that news about your job Keiron. I had my text with my wage total for June but no phone call to accompany it for the first time. Seems ominous as the company will have to pay tax/ni next month so I'm thinking the same fate awaits me. As an aside, as I've said before, the Prince...

    I've been getting 1 phone call /month re my pay. I suspect too, that once they have to pay something it will change, another reason I'm looking for alternatives. I had to chuckle about your reply to Curly, you realise that we'd be up all night as well then! :)

    Well I'm still on furlough down here in Wales, although I hope to hear something tomorrow as it is payday end of the month. Despite what happens I've had enough of 'stuck indoors' & have been looking at alternative employment. I can only say I've enjoyed the challenge, some days I can commit...

    B*gger, lol I've only got the benefit of Google, but to be fair have learned a lot from you guys on BHF including some decent sites to search. I had 3 addresses in mind one of which was Heath St. Never mind I've been lucky more than once with a guess. Well done to all participants and thanks to...

    Birmingham Nightclubs of the Past - Memories

    One occasion I remember getting on the 74N in town & paying my £1 fare. Next thing I remember was waking up back in Colmore Row & getting kicked off, l couldn't pay again as I had spent all my money on the night out, saving only a £1 for my fare. The driver wasn't having any of it and I had to...

    Bull Ring boy, I can't imagine them being purchased today, however that set is available on Amazon, which although in itself is a 'tool' of today it's dealing a blow to the high street amongst others, present & past
