I stayed in Birmingham for a few days.. we visited the Black Country Living Museum..
All very interesting.. How people lived way back.. Everyone .. other then the 'posh' had to share ..
The outside loo.. no flush.. just a bucket that had to be emptied.. Tin bath on Sundays.. And the big old mangle.. My mum had a mangle . We kids had to muck in and turn the handle while feeding the sheets through.. The mangle being bigger /taller than us kids..

They also had a small fair operating.. Which distracted from the (old times) theme..
I was 'encouraged' to have a ride on the carousel..
 I got on fairly easily.. BUT it took three people to get me off.. My Sciatica would not allow me to lift my leg over.. It was hilarious... The mobile phones were flashing away..
 Famous at last.. :grin: :grin:
 And it was bloody raining.. (mostly)
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Oh dear Scrumps,  how embarrassing.   
Still, you did better than me,  with my back I'd have probably got stuck getting on in the first place.  :smiley:

Glad you had a nice break though,  and glad to see you back.

That was my five minutes of fame..

We once, a long time ago, lived in Bradford.  Rather like Birmingham: they have a Brown Country Museum.

Brian !!... No Starbucks back then.. 
 There was a bloke in the car park checking out the disabled badges.. 
He looked my way.. I limped... He wrote something down.. 
It might appear on a thread ,over the way..

Scrumpy are you making any money from all those videos on the  carousel that have appeared on Twitter?
