The Continuing Saga P. Drummond As many of you must re-call, Somerset was just a little way down the hall, The continuing smell that wafted on high, Was the bodily smell of one Macandrew boy. We suffered in Somerset the pugent air, That was someone's from the Macandrew lair! We in Shackleton had to tolerate every morn, The Somerset via Macandrew morning call, So in our sitting we had a talk! Then the house captain suggested "a Cork" One night round about dawn After many smelly time's became quite forlorn The answer to our problem we undertake, With the prefects ok it was a piece of cake. The following morning to smell the air, Was a delight for us all to share, No more pungent smells The problem solved and it tells! But after many years the offending cork excel's No more did we suffer the little jolly sailors smells But in our haste to get away The cork has not been removed even to this day. So when you next observe his walk It all came about due to a useful CORK! 25 July 2010 - Smelling of Rose's peter w drummond Stand by your Beds,The Life and Times of P.Drummond.

I have a copy of "Childhood Memories" which is a Photographic history of Dr Barnardo's homes but I believe the book is now out of print. The only photo I can find relating to the Birmingham area is "Druids Heath" Nr Walsall which opened in 1939. Could I suggest you contact Martine King, who is our Archives Manager at Barnardo's HQ in Barkingside who may be able to help. martine.king@barnardos.org.uk I hope this is of some help to you. 24 July 2010 - Melton Mowbray poet laureate | thekentishgirlschoir@goldings.org there is a mouldy dump down goldings lane where we get mouldy grub that gives us pain.
