    I was back at st Josephs today but the guy who took my details is on holiday for another week. We had a more in-depth look round the churchyard, but its a needle in a haystack. So I have to wait, although im so impatient, do you think there's anywhere else I can access the map?

    Thankyou, that's kind. :) I wish I could somehow sort the section in there that is left as they rely on volunteers, but it would need a lot of people and time.

    Queen Alexandra College (QAC) Harborne.

    Just a quick post on QAC. As many will know this particular college is for young adults between 16-25 with various special needs. Just wondered if anyone had any positive or negative stories, own experiences, or anything in general about this college? I have been to look round it and I thought...
