Living your life to 1987 standards

[Bungle]

Did the number 7 stop at colmore row or corporation Street in 1987-1988. I might ask the driver to drop me there to give the 1987-88 experince.

Not sure about '87 but I remember getting the 7 from Dale End, before they tore up the map of Birmingham and redirected all the traffic.

SE I was a bit Hedley Lamarr like (churning, seething) but my crew were mildly amused.  I too planned a novel with the big storm as its mise en scene.  When Freddie Trueman was sued for divorce he claimed he knew exactly where he spent the night in question because it was the night of the Hurricane.  I saw split screen flashbacks - one of Fiery Fred in his underpants trying to close the window shutters and the other of the plaintiff in her chemise trying to get him to leave the shutters and come back to bed.  Should have written it.

I can already hear the sound of the Pulitzer committee clearing their throats Brian!

Sounds more entertaining than anything we served up in '87.

And a darned sight more plausible than Bingo Billy keeping us up.

Do you reckon he'd have incorporated his legendary long run up in such a situation Brian?☺

I'm sure I have my Casio calculator watch somewhere.

I had ditched the Casio by then and was wearing a very colourful Swatch.
