The Uncle Jo legacy created much mirth and humour I recall – but who was he? Presumably a brother of the parents. He left a will and at some point we were assembled at Agnes’ house at 84 Yardley Green Road, Yardley. Gladys was there, obviously Agnes, Ivy and Bert, Me. The will was read out, just like the £100, and I sniggered, or made a joyous sound, and my Mother gave me a “look” to shut me up. It was pre-arranged that we would buy Uncle Charles a pen to say thank you for being an executor of the will, and I went with my Mother to probably The Midland Educational stationery shop in one of the arcades near Snow Hill Station to buy it. It was a lovely stubby pen, I thought by Mont Blanc.
