I was nearly born in Brum but thanks to the attention of the Luftwaffe, Our Mom was carted off to Leamington for the birth.
A short stay in bomb-blasted Winson St was followed by a swift move to Sladepool Farm Rd.
My first school was Highters Heath, then Wheelers Lane.
I left school and. worked about a year at Birmingham co-op.
In '57 I joined the army and visits to Brum became few and far between.
Married to a Welsh girl, demob landed me in Crewe, Cheshire.
After the death of my first wife I finally ended up in a town called Sandbach, (junction 17, M6).
Would I move back to Brum ? Everybody I used to know has gone and it's nice around here, I'm staying put.
