Probably the same number of visitors to Germany that can't find Cologne.:worried::worried::D

Saw this plaque whilst on holiday in Redruth. I wondered if it could be of interest to anyone following the long arm of Birmingham.

I should hope not. The rebuilding may never be completed but Birmingham will never be 'finished'. With BHF around no-one would dare.:D:D Keep up the good work Brummies.:innocent: NoddKD

Thanks for that Michael. I had no idea how much musical entertainment I had over that weekend.:D:D NoddKD

Have to be honest Steve I hadn't a clue. I do recall that I enjoyed tremendously. Very grateful to Michael Ingram for taking me back all those years. NoddKD.

Me and my brother's at Reading Festiva! 1979. We lived in it for four days. NoddKD, in hippy mode.

Hi Lloyd,sorry for the delay in replying. A family funeral and my son's passing out parade took priority I'm afraid. Thanks for your prompt and comprehensive reply. I am often amazed at the depth of knowledge and subject interest on this site and your reply is very much in keeping with the help...

Just been looking on another Birmingham website and spotted a very strange looking bus. It's make is AEC with a depot?number 93. Destination board shows 1A,can't make out the rest Registration AHX 63. In the picture it appears very narrow and has the boarding platform at the front. The...

That reminds me. Does anyone remember the tower crane that collapsed in Ladywood around 1961/62? I was in big trouble for leaving the school playground at lunch time to have look. I think the company building the flats was Bison. NoddKD

Hi Viv, have to say many fashions keep me amused. Currently the hilarious hair styles sported by men and the trend for young women dressed in their finery with huge great boots on their feet. Would be interesting to see how they feel in twenty years time.:D:D NoddKD. Easily amused.

Yep,knackered kindred spirits. :D ;)

Hi Martin, thanks for your reply. You're right a short time at the school and I really don't remember a great deal about my time there. I recall that one of the teachers had a vintage\veteran car, Austin 7? Which was parked in the playground outside the metalwork shop. Strange the things that...

My family lived at 180 Monument Rd ,a surgery headed by Dr Kerr. My mother was the general dogsbody and ran the admin side of the practice. Today she would be the Practice Manager. The property was just down from the junction of Plough and Harrow Rd and Waterworks Rd towards Chamberlain...
