As one door closes another one opens .No more ‘The Island’, but bring on The Brummie one with the good music.

It’s back – Thursday is Peaky Blinder’s night. John’s got the accent , I’ve got in The Davenports and the HP Sauce ( it is made there – I used to live opposite the factory ) and Stephen Knight has written a guide to Birmingham n the Guardian . He says ”If you want an authentic Peaky Blinders-era pub, try the Barton Arms in Aston”

Q: where did John take me for my first date ?

A:the Barton Arms ,Aston

Classy eh ?

That would have been fine if he hadn’t called me Hazel all night .

  1. “beer at home means Davenports, that’s the beer, lots of cheer” and i can’t remember the rest, although sadly I can remember the tune. Oh BTW -I resigned on Friday. I feel how I imagine John feels, although I sadly need to get another job sorted quickly!

  3. Good for you – life is too short to be unhappy at work .
    Doubt if you’ll ever get such a good view though !

    I’m off to google that advert – sounds a cracker ?!

  4. Whilst I was still living in Birmingham there was huge outcry when it got taken over by Kraft I think and production was moved over to Holland, think the factory is now derelict but could be wrong on that
