Thanks Pedrocut. I was beginning to think I had imagined it. NoddKD

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.

I spy the entrance to The Hole in the Wall pub. Spent many an hour in there. Quite often lunch times with an oppo that worked in a camera shop in Martineau Square. Happy days. NoddKD

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...

Whilst serving my sentence At Hartfield Crescent School we were taken to see The Taming of the Shrew at The Warwick cinema in Acocks Green. To use the modern vernacular "that's an afternoon I'll never get back" NoddKD

Hi Martin, I feel sure that you and were at Icknield Street at the same time. I joined from Farm Street in September 1964 but left in February 1965 when the family moved to Acocks Green. I think the class teacher was Mr Ward? I knocked about with Christopher Robinson and he and I worked in the...

Would be fantastic to find out if Kathleen achieved her nursing ambition. NoddKD

An interesting point in this thread is that this brave soldiers body was brought home for burial. I had always believed that until very recently burial was at ,or very near the place they fell. Lest we forget. RIP soldier,duty done. NoddKD

Is there anything technology cannot do? That is fascinating. NoddKD. Impressed.

As children we were taken to the barbers in Ladywood Rd ,opposite Chamberlain Gardens. He always threatens to cut off our heads and replace them with cabbages. I do occasionally feel that he did just that.:D:D NoddKD. He with the green head.

Interesting but still prefer the view to the left.:):):) NoddKD, who wil try to behave in future:innocent:
