Lace Market 1960,........what a busy place employing 100s,........i was 15 and employed as a 'Van lad' at midland station and used to do deliverys round the 'lace market' and the Piped music' blasting out as the workers sang along to it,everytime i hear 'Paper Roses' my mind goes back there.

Kath - in that case I've taken plenty of practice swings!
Don't mind tennis, do enjoy watching snooker though. One that I can't stand is cricket! Possibly because I have no idea what the rules are!
Melissa,that could be a 'silly backward point' or even a ' backward short leg' but thanks for ' declaring'

Yeah - go back just for a day. Don't forget the icy winters, the smog, no central heating, horse dung all over the place, much poverty and no equality for women. And no internet
Glad i never took you out 'back in the day' Sue,........all you did was complain.......

Birmingham was my 1st real encounter with Ethnics' in the 60s,and i admire the way they melted in and became accepted,and i think its great when i hear the Brummy/black country accent spoke by such diverse people,the area just absorbed them.
