Another one bites the dust
W/C 17th October 2022
If I hadn't been to Birmingham this week then I wouldn't of thought about Birds Custard.
If I hadn't thought about Birds Custard, I would never have discovered that the Birds Custard Factory used to be spread of fifteen acres of land in Digbeth, and that over a 1,000 people used to work there.
If I hadn't been researching the Birds Custard Factory, then I wouldn't have found out that it was originally constructed for Sir Alfred Frederick Bird in 1906, and remained there until the company moved to Banbury in 1964
If I hadn't been reading about Sir Alfred Frederick Bird, then I wouldn't have discovered that his Dad Alfred Bird invented egg-free custard in 1837.
And if I hadn't started down this path, I wouldn't have reached the conclusion that had Alfred's wife not been allergic to eggs I probably wouldn't have spent my week in Birmingham in the first place.
Stay safe.

Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.
If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.
