I used to love the Army and Navy stores, there was one on Heathfield Rd going toward Soho Rd. I used to buy stuff I didn’t even need.

Got my school rucksack together with my mates from Oswald Baileys in town by St Phillips Church. Also there was an Army and Navy stores in Hay Mills. They were okay but sometimes your books fell out but they were the in thing at the time and you just threw them down when you had finished.I used to love the Army and Navy stores, there was one on Heathfield Rd going toward Soho Rd.

Congratulations Rosie!I have lost weight recently and raided the ragbag for my old denim skirt and it fits again. I was looking at some old photos this morning and realised it's 26 years old at least because it was from a charity shop originally!
rosie.
Power to you Rosie.Congratulations Rosie!
bet you looked a cool dude the hendrix lookThere were a couple if Army and Navey surplus stores on Erdington High Street. I bought a Civil Defence great coat may years ago while going through my new age look. It was a lovely well made overcoat that I did enjoy wearing. Then one day, as a schoolboy smoker I accidently let the end of a lit tipped fag fall down the sleeve while walking home. I sort of wondered where the fag end went but was not too concerned so carried on.
At home I hung the coat on the back of the living room door while I ate lunch. I then noticed the layer of smoke in the living room to find my beloved great coat was well ablaze from the fag end.
I also wore a velvet jacket, Loons, shirts with ridiculously long pointed collars and platform shoes.
I did turn up home once with a pair of crushed strawberry velvet flairs, but that was a step too far for mom and dad.
Well I thought so, but dad was most certianly not a Jimmy Hendrix fanbet you looked a cool dude the hendrix look![]()
