Shard End was fine at the time. Although I actually lived in Castle Bromwich. Sheldon Heath? Do you know Downsfield Road. I lived there as little kid. My first school was Stanville Road.
When was that? I went to Lyndon Green junior and infants, I passed my 11plus and could have gone to Waverley Grammer with my then best mate Jez, but all my brothers went to Sheldon so I went there too. One of my best mates in those first few years at the comp lived in Downsfield Road, Kenny McGeehan. Wonder what became of these chaps, I know Kenny joined the army from school....I lived in Bellevue Road just round the corner from you
Think I was 5 when we left there . We lived at number 72, a maisonettes. Did you know a family called Knight? I later worked with two of the brothers in my first job, but I'm struggling with their names at the mo (age eh). But I know one of the older ones was called Jimmy, Jimmy Night.
No, that doesn't ring a bell. Been a lot of redevelopment round there, some of it, including the school, hardly recognisable. What was this thread about again?
I can legitimately claim to have shared the stage with Jeff Lynne on one occasion about a year and a half ago.
Anything remotely resembling the awfull sound ELO make renders me feeling physically sick. Them and Prince. There are others of course but not played on the radio that much. Ear bleach is the thing! ELO indeed! Ive typed that twice now. Im off to throw up!
Love elo . Didnt the cello player get killed driving a t2 an a bail of hay smashed him roling down a hill. Or something like that .? Here it is ... Mike Edwards was killed on the A381 road between Harbertonford and Halwell near where he lived in Totnes in Devon, on 3 September 2010, when a cylindrical hay bale weighing 1,300 pounds (590 kg) rolled down a hillside and collided with the van he was driving.[11][12] A court case concluding on 19 November 2012 resulted in two defendants being found not guilty of health and safety charges relating to the accident.. Must of been a late bay . They have this type of luck it mentions "devon" ?...!
