Brum was smashed to bits during WW2. Whole areas were devastated by the bombing. Hardly any road or street particularly in the inner areas escaped damage. Lot's and lots of Brummies were killed or badly injured. Night after night was spent in cold and damp Anderson Shelters or brick shelters being terrified of what was happening outside.
But the vast majority of Brummies survived! and our lives became normal again after 5 years of War.
And now we have this horrible virus!
Some people are saying that it is the worst thing since WW2 - which of course is right. Some of us are terrified that we may catch it just as people were terrified in WW2.
But the vast majority of us will survive and life will again eventually go back to normal.
Brummies are strong people who deal with whatever life throws at them . I'm proud to have been born one of them
