DrVeraJenkins old dear Rank: Jasper	Our Alton replied on: 1/29/2004 9:06:28 PM Another idea for a column - "Step Down Mammary Lane with Olton Dudley - the man with the biggest collection of old tit-bits in Brummegem". He can be my alter ego. Come with Olton as he shows you his cuttings.

NH350Ariel old hand Rank: Ozzy	Our Alton replied on: 1/29/2004 9:57:07 PM Most of those Brum history books get right on my tits. They are not aimed at my generation, my mom loves them but she is the target audiance. I would buy a book about brum if it was about my brum. Stories about wagging paying on buses, Brummie bike gangs, illegal gambling dens, blues parties,dodgy night clubs like ACAFESS, historical whore houses. A book from the point of the incomers to the city would be good, the cultural rise of the balti house, why the bloody Welsh are still social outcasts etc.

Fascinating stuff.
bounder chairman of the board Rank: Ozzy	Reckon we could do it replied on: 1/30/2004 10:03:34 AM a book about the real brummagem with nice pics and propper writting - not that rose tinted crap.
NH350Ariel old hand Rank: Ozzy	Reckon we could do it replied on: 1/30/2004 7:01:32 PM My Mom has that one Peakie! Yes Bounds, a book without the Carl Chinn gloss on it. Poverty was not nice it was a reality and the reason we never used to lock our doors was that we had fu*k all to nick. My grandfather was a villain, not a colorful character. The hard men of the 1920s were just as unpleasant as todays burger bar boys. We need true history not Romanticism, books written for education not the Xmas market.
racheymaus old hand Rank: Chinny This message was updated on 1/31/2004 9:39:22 AM by racheymaus	Reckon we could do it replied on: 1/30/2004 8:21:05 PM Chinnie has an archive available via the BGfL. We could ransack, loot and pillage him. That might be fun. But didn't your GrandDad keep Brum in birdseed in those difficult war years? If that aint colour, I'm visually impaired.
NH350Ariel old hand Rank: Ozzy	Reckon we could do it replied on: 1/30/2004 9:37:45 PM My Granddad was a corn and seed merchant. He was also a loan shark and I believe like most of his ilk not adverse to using strong arm tactics. In his youth he was a peakie-blinder. The closest he ever came to writing a love letter to my grandmother was when he was on a fishing trip to Tewkesbury. His words. "Lena look forward to seeing you Thursday, bring a gallon of maggots. Yours Harry"

DrVeraJenkins old dear Rank: Jasper	Our Alton replied on: 2/2/2004 12:40:51 AM You lot just wait till you're old. Then you'll appreciate the true magic of the photocopied bus ticket. Yes, you'll say to yourself, I was once issued with a bus ticket exactly like that and suddenly you'll also imagine that you were on first name terms with your local drivers and all the people on the bus would have a sing-song every morning on the way to work. And you'll remember how Al Kayeda delayed your shopping trip to New York but how all the folks in the terminus all started doing the conga underneath the union jack bunting strewn around the airport. And you'll think back to Atomic Kitten doing 'Hang up your washing on the Siegfreid Line". And then, with a tear in your eye, you'll think of silly old Mrs J and you'll say to yourself..."No...maybe she wasn't so silly after all". I've said enough.
