As the saying goes.....There are none so blind as they who will not see. I'll leave you to your site. Goodbye.

Perhaps you may want to do some research on the characteristics of cliques, Brew.

Another member.

Brew, I think you've overlooked the post to which the 'clique' comment alluded to - as classic an example of cliquism as I ever saw. More so, the likes your post has attracted.... Just sayin' ...

That's sad to hear Jill, I can still picture them both from nearly sixty years ago. My mum was quite friendly with June.

Yes Jill, that would sound about right, he was a little younger than me. I remember his dad's name was Len and worked at Players.

Thanks Jill, I do remember David had a baby sibling very early sixties but don't remember if it was a boy or girl. Yes, might be a cousin perhaps, quite a strong resemblance.

Wonder if the girl second from right bottom row, Linda Wing, is perhaps a sister of a little mate of mine from the Meadows, David Wing. They moved to Knighton Ave early '60s. She looks very like I remember him.

'An accusation of altruism'. Almost an oxymoron?

Sad, but kept intact. The following year, the building to the left ( Novacade ) was totally demolished and re-built.

You can guarantee, whenever there's a big 'ole, there'll be some nosey boggers looking down it.

Yes, the Mundella 1969 shows seven rows, about a hundred persons on each row. Looks like the staging was for the top three rows.

FWIW, I remember all the staging being put up for the Mundella panoramic. It wasn't done by people or with materials from the school. I've no idea which photo company was used. Mundella had them done every five years. Rickety thing too, I was stood up near the back row, no H&S then.

You do not have to have your car serviced at the main dealer to maintain warranty, that hasn't been a requirement for years under EU regs. I have found Mercedes are one of the worst for servicing costs and I've picked them up a number of times for mistakes too. I wouldn't buy another. Our current Jaguar had a 3 year servicing deal for, I think about £450, bargain. The problem with not having a main dealer FSH with prestige vehicles reflects on re-sale values when you want to change it.

Well, no-one is allowed to make his mark as a social comment on another person's property without permission - that is criminal damage. Whether graffiti is art or vandalism is entirely subjective, depends on one's point of view but most will regard it as the latter. In this specific case, as Banksy is an artist whose work fetches high prices, the owner of the wall would probably be much more likely to consider themselves extremely fortunate rather than take umbrage .... their wall has suddenly increased considerably in value! Anyone who subsequently damages the now mor

Yes, they certainly do have the lowest risk of dying. Unfortunately, as a social group, they also have the greatest capacity to spread it to those who may be at the highest risk.

No Margie, it doesn't. Hydropower is also the lowest carbon. Whilst many are uncomfortable with it for obvious reasons, the most effective form of energy with low carbon is nuclear energy.

Well, don't hold you breath. Up to the eighties opticians charged an arm and a leg for glasses because the had a monopoly under the Opticians Act. Operators like Specsavers and Vision Express came on the market with cheap frames and took over old established independent opticians. What did they do next? Put all the bloody prices back up again!

Yes, Listergate. The left side between Sawyers and Stanford St. That side of the store, apart from the Food Hall, would normally be clothing, haberdashery, textiles etc and at Christmas they were replaced with all the seasonal stuff that can be seen. The camera first comes down from the back of the store towards the front and then returns, front to back, the record department being shown at the end and the rest of the store to the right.

Proof of the pudding would seem to be ... the present Select & Save is 119-121 Arnold Rd... 1950's maps show the address of the properties that would be behind the bus as ... 119-121.

Mess's post above, which was attributed to me, was of course written by philmayfield. I realised it was a mistake when I got down the bit ... " I used to eat out a lot, especially when I was in business. I was usually the customer so I was wined and dined in top restaurants both in the UK and Europe" ... now if it had said Little Chef I might not have realised..

It was Harris Carpets.

Bet that's Langley Mill

We used to collect cards showing the performers at 'Sunday Night at the London Palladium', early sixties. I think they must have been cigarette cards not bubble-gum. I do remember one was Dickie Valentine.

That appears to be what was known as a lantern, a Victorian-era skylight. What immediately strikes as odd is the covered arched roof, which would have been glass. A quick shufti on Historic England shows it to be a modern mock-up, sadly. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1254758
