Has DIY now changed to flat-pack technology?
Yes Philip, that is why I have a draw full of different sizes of Allen keys. Haven't a clue where each one fits. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I thought at first it was a detached property but do you think there was bomb damage next door as the side to the left is rendered?

I lived near Les Shephard's and I don't know about you but I find it is not as good as it was, they seem to be concentrating more on kitchens etc. I knew Les when he worked at Morris Engines and I did not know that he was a Submariner whilst in the forces, I only found out when I was at the Memorial Park and and noticed he has a plaque by one of the trees, I found this unusual because he was a big tall guy and a Sub is not the place to be if you are tall, all in all a nice chap to have known - RIP Les.

He also used to have a shop/warehouse at 268 Alderman's Green Road.
The building is still there but hasn't been open as a shop for many years, though the business might well still own it. |
