Does anyone remember Stanley Dixon, who if still with us, would now be 78. He began as a Telegram Boy in 1943 /44 and lived in Over Street. He had an older brother Ronald, now deceased, who was an electrician at Allen West.

Yes, Stan is still with us. His telephone number is 01273 410508.

My brother Peter Dray was a messenger boy in the early 60s and he later became a postman. Does anyone remember working with him? My dad Harold Dray was also working for the post office in Brighton at that time and many years afterwards. My brother Peter and my other brother Brian were also mods in the 60s and I think you should do a feature on the mods and rockers era.

I worked with a Bert Dray in the 1940s as Telegraph boy Messengers. Was he related to you?

We have now set up a web site (www.birminghamsandsclub.co.uk) for former telegram messenger boys to keep in touch with each other. We record past memories of their years as messenger boys (wags) sent to us, and also feature photographs of the past reunions. There is also a message board for everyone to leave messages for one another and to reunite past work colleagues. We will also be constantly updating these pages to display reunions and activities being planned. We hope that former messenger boys will enjoy the site, and that they feel free to contribute stories / articles, and any old photographs that can be sent on e-mail file attachment that they wish to be viewed on the site. We also accept any correspondence through the post, and will return all items after they have been scanned onto the website. I know some of you may not have access to the web site but if you could write down your memories as many as you like of your time or any events during your time as a messenger and then send it to me I would gladly put it on the web site for you so that other members could then read all about your time as a messenger. At the end of the day the telegram messenger boys have a lot of history, and it would be a shame if any of that was forgotten. Look forward to receiving your story/ memories: greenr@blueyonder.co.uk

I was a messenger with Pete Dray. We both went over to be postman, and then we were trained on the Transorma to do the inward sorting.

I was a Messenger between 1963 and 1968. I remember Jeremy and Peter and many, many others. Both my wife and I were mods in the 1960s. I went to a reunion in the 1990s but there were not a lot of people from my time, Bernie Banister and 'Doggie' Roser being two of them. It would be good if someone could organise another reunion. I think the person who did the first one organised it through the Argus. Anyone willing?

I worked in West Street in the 1950s, and would often see the Telegram boys roaring out from the side of Ship Street Post Office on their bright red BSA Bantams. Most would lean their their bikes over sharply as they turned the corner, so much so that sparks always flew up from the foot rests or leg shields. Although I now see this as foolhardy practice, I then thought them to be very skillful, for I never ever saw any of them fall off whilst doing it.
