Hi All
Good Morning. I saw the BBC news last night and mention of the Telegram Boy. I was a wag from 1949 to 1952. I have searched your website but could not connect any of the faces with my years as a messenger boy. Perhaps they also had no knowledge of the reunuion or due to age have now passed on. I worked at Head office (birmingham) first and then went to Moseley PO and sometimes at Sparkhill. I then worked at Selly Oak on the Motor bikes. We had Bantams but I was better off because I rode the better 250cc bike. It was governed but not very often ( only when the mechanics came to service the bike ). Photograph enclosed ( taken at Selly oak ). All the best with future events.
