I had a drive of a Daimler Scout car on one of those 'experience' days, preselect box and the steering wheel facing down so you sat under it. peculiar to say the least.

Had one on my forecourt until 1988 and the guy I sold the business to kept it until he gave selling petrol about four years later.

Thanks Janet, I did that but I couldn't be sure, the chap far left maybe. :confused:

I've been a vehicle mechanic all my life Janet and dad was apprenticed as a cabinet maker but couldn't get work at the end so worked for Wolseley Sheep sheering and engineering for all his working life. Ada's father Alfred Hodgetts was also a silversmith.

He was born in1866 Janet so could well have been in the photo, if it was a bit bigger/clearer I might be able to id him.

Thanks Janet, Leonard was my dad, I knew Thomas was a jeweller/silversmith but didn't know his employment status, grandma Ada died in 1943 and Thomas in 1951, I was with him a few days before he passed, sadly from colon cancer.

That would be him MWS, he did live in Barton's Bank, thanks.

That's my granddad, he's listed in the census as a silversmith, is there any way of finding if he was self employed or an employee of one of the Brum companies?

Lots of Mid red photos, I keep hoping one will pop up with my brother Allen on, I have one of him driving a Brisbane bus from after he emigrated to Aus.

Not an 'old Brummie' but my daughter born in Brum in 1956 served in Berlin in the RAF then when she came home joined GCHQ, posted all over the world but finished up posted to the NSA in Washington and Baltimore and settled down there, she later became a realtor and is still selling expensive...

Sorted, a different SSD and a fresh download of Windows has it fixed, after a lot of time and infinite patience., just got to get some of the tat that comes with windows off and salvage stuff from the old hard drive.

Tried that and many other tips before I went to the shop Richard, all without success, still dabbling with it.

I'm using a laptop at the moment because the blasted desktop won't boot up, spent hours trying to fix it but it just won't have it. Asked the guy in the local computer shop, he said "Bring it in, there'll be an £85 service charge whether we fix it or not" \it was working fine on Sunday wouldn't...

When I see pictures like the Hillman Minx I wonder if that's one that I fitted heaters and mirrors to, I did an awful lot when I worked at Watsons. :)

Not a scam but an actual burglary, one of my motor trade friends said he woke up thinking there was someone in the house, got up and was confronted by a burglar, he realised he hadn't put on any clothes so was standing there naked, reached out for a decorative sword from above the fireplace and...

Have a look at Janus trucks in Australia Lloyd. Here's a starter. https://www.januselectric.com.au/

I run a 2014 Renault Zoe, had it two years now and its battery capacity is only about one percent down on new, I charge it at home now on 7Kw but for the first year I charged it at Tesco on 22 Kw, an awful lot of negativity from the naysayers about EVs but I doubt many who change from ICEs will...

Maybe register for the Fully charged show to keep up with the times.

A nightmare for the taxpayers Brooky.
