Thanks for the memories Colin. I used to live in Nechells in the 70s. My son went to Duddeston Manor Sch, in the days with his Musical Youths friends. When they were invited on Tizwaz they took him with them. We lived in a small town not far from WingYip Superrmarket and restaurant. Memories indeed. All changed now. Thank you.
