Make every day a day to remember
Because this ain't no rehearsal
And you ain't coming back

Knew it well Ed, commuted daily from Erdington to Harry Lucas School Hockley, changed buses at Aston Cross - got off the 64 and on the Inner Circle 8. Did the studio become BRMB?

P.S. What was your wife's school?
It's far better to look back on a rejection rather than a lost opportunity.

farm st school closed during the war years as it was used for what was called a british restaurant that served lunches for the work force of surrounding factories that played a major part in the war effort..non less than joseph lucas gks...


Astoness Lyn - I need your help again, "your" mapsite is great, where do you click on to "Copy Link address", try as I might I can't find the spot. Recently I tried to include the link direct to Key Hill Cemetery - failed miserably, had to use your link to Burbury St School, (http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18&lat=52.4959&lon=-1.9081&layers=176&b=6) I know it's only a minor inconvenience but more professional to bring up required site centre screen immediately.

find where you want to be on the map
bring the arrow up to the bar top of the page
right click on where it says hhps /maps/geo/explore that should then turn dark blue
right click then click on copy
right click and click on paste in the post you are making...the link should then be there


easier for me to show you so i hope you can muddle through the instructions
