Well, a small world gets even smaller.
I remember the Gondola Milk Bar and going there a few times in the mid sixties. We did not go often because I was pals with a chap whose family ran the cafe between Mansell Road and Aubrey Road and also my best pal's father ran the George and Dragon pub, so we hung out there a lot.
I do not know Janet Tatten but another old pal (I had a lot in those days) lived behind the laundry shop which was managed by his father.
Cherie, Yes,I do remember her quite well, Cherie McCollugh or similar I think. She was best friends for a while with a girl called Barbara whose family lived next door to her above the Blackburn Assurance office. We all hung out around 1962-1964. I know Barbara later emigrated to South Africa. The last time I saw Cherie was in the late 70's. She was walking along a road in Stechford, I was a passenger in a car so did not stop but i know it was her, she was easily recognisable.
