    Did you? That would be a coincidence. I can't remember the door number, but I think it was a big one, about 535. I didn't know it was listed or how many rooms, but it was a lot.

    I believe the IT firm moved out years ago. EPP they were called.

    On the Alcester Road, about a mile north of the Maypole, is a small parade of shops with a baker just off the main road. That's where I copped it. I used to work in a converted house opposite.

    I once worked for several months in Kings Heath. I got the worst sh1ts I've ever had in my life there. My landlady was not amused! urg!

    I blame the pies at the baker's over the road.

    ISTR it was a bit leafy, quite a pleasant part of the city.

    Went to a nice lady masseuse in Edgbaston. Did lots of the famous cricketers but not being into cricket I forget the names. Therepeutic massage for injuries (I had pulled a muscle*) that is, not the nudge nudge wink wink sort. She must have been 70 at least.
