Streets you knew in Birmingham City Centre have changed so much now you can get lost!

Put me by the Fire Station years ago I could find anywhere because I knew it all.
Cant do that now babes, even finding the Bullring is a nightmare

I truly believe I knew every backstreet in the Jewellery Quarter back in the day because your first job was to take repair jobs to the specialists
who used to have workshops around all these hundreds of years old buildings so you had to find them lol! TRUE!

Have I ever told you how they wanted to know if honest or not back in the day?
They would send you somewhere and put A fiver on the steps on the way to go into a old workshop knowing you must see it.
They just wanted to see if you'd hand it in LMAO!
I always did so I was ok.

I remember one old guy telling me he had heard I was quite good so he said "I have to pop out for a minute Lee do you think you could finish this for me while I'm gone?

In the Bullring at noon it is dark, BD.

IMHO they made a cracking job of the actual new Bullring.

Have you played counting the whites riding a escalator, we are in a minority.

Plenty of goats heads for sale in the market, recon some may be alsatians.

I remember the gun Quarter, has that changed much? BD

"NO, I like it now" He said I'll show you something and he gold plated a ring that was already gorgeous and it did look better LOL>
