Wallers

Wallers Butchers by Jesus Green. I famously sent my father-in-law to queue up for a turkey here one Christmas Eve before I realised that I'd ordered it from a different butcher. He was a lot more tolerant than the butcher. I'm filling in a day late because I was out at a 6th Form Forum last night. The good news is that I'm not nearly as pushy a parent as I thought. A remarkable number of vocal parents were encouraging the teachers to pressurise our offspring even more than they do already (which is quite a lot). More than once the words, 'An A is not good enough' were uttered. Luckily it seems that the silent majority were thinking, 'Get a grip.'
Ooh that sounds a bit intense. Have been lucky with our two they want to strive for the best! Thank heavens

I love all the blue and their list of options sounds delicious. The bike is perfect. Great capture.

The bike makes it look as if they do deliveries too! They did a long time ago. I'm with the silent majority!

It looks like a great butcher to visit and I love the old bike outside. I'm glad I wasn't there at your forum or I'd have had something to say!

Oh! a bicycle :)

Ooh - a proper butchers. I'd love to live near one of these (preferably with a bike like that outside!). We've got quite a lot of the more homework brigade at my older son's school too - don't they like their children?

Superb composition. Love this!
October 4th, 2013  
Fabulous, and complete with bike!

@padlock @taz_o they just got 90% A*/A in their GCSEs - they are a diligent bunch!

Poor little beggars...who'd be a kid these days!!! I am sure you have a much more relaxed attitude!! As long as they try hard that's all you can ask. Your young man didn't need pushing anyway!! That bike is perfectly placed & I do like a good butcher. We have a great village butcher but there is never a decent bike parked at the front!!!
Poor old FIL I would think he would be a bit panicky thinking of his lost dinner!!

@happypat when it says 'local beef' it means off the park next door!
October 4th, 2013  
@happypat oh my FIL got told off for time wasting as well!
October 4th, 2013  
@judithg You are a cruel woman!!! The park is very local!!! I am hoping we are going to like Birmingham...easy to get to on the train!!!
October 4th, 2013  
@happypat Yes - a bit fiddly from Cambridge though. But as they will no doubt tell you it's the only Uni with its own station....
October 4th, 2013  
@judithg Really......we are getting off at New street think.
October 4th, 2013  
@happypat you can get a connection from there - or about £10 for a taxi though might be a bit more in Saturday traffic.
October 4th, 2013  
@judithg I don't think it's the same uni as Rachels....I think it is the Newman one we are going to....they do the Speech Therapy....Jack is going to the Edgbaston open day at the end of the month. All go!! Thanks Judith for your info!
October 4th, 2013  
get a grip indeed judith...they should come and visit my inner city school for a slice of real life....cracking picture of wallers and the bike is the finishing touch

You'll never forget that Christmas.
I like the blue bricks on the building.
October 4th, 2013  
Quintessential Judith Greenwood. Well done.
October 5th, 2013  
@happypat Oh yes you have to watch that in Birmingham. It'll be Jack that hears all about the train station!

Like the capture of the butcher's- and the story. We still have one or two old-fashioned butchers near us.
October 5th, 2013  
ah, a nice Cambridge shot. I'm a big fan of local butchers...people are far more respectful of meat bought locally than form the supermarket
October 5th, 2013  
That is such a funny story about the turkey. On the other hand the pressure put on kids is certainly not a funny story. Good capture of the shop with the bike outside.
October 5th, 2013  
Did you move that bike or was it perfectly placed?

An "A" isn't good enough? Ouch. Wonder what they'd make of my E in economics (stupid subject anyway).
