Anyway... where is Birmingham? oh here we go again the great north/south divide.."anything North of Watford Gap doesnt count cause its all medieval cart tracks and there be dragons, and I be afraid of it cause I`m a southern jessie" ;D Well you better find out before September, seeing as how you need to get to Dudley ;D ;D You can see Birmingham from miles away because it's usually in possession of more grey clouds than any of the surrounding area. There be dragons? No, I think on the old maps north of Watford it states 'here be dragons'. ;D Don't worry Steve I was born in Wiltshire and even London was higher up the map than where I lived! I left school and headed north and now live in Derby and they have much friendlier tribes up here, so there is no need to be afraid. They will laugh at your accent of course. For example a pub, is not pronouced 'pab'. A bus, is pronounced 'buzz' not 'bas' A castle, is pronounced 'kas-al' not 'car-sle' and bath is not barth. When they say "Aye up duck!"', it is not to be taken literally unless they have boulders in their hands or you are in a restaurant. Bring gifts, drink the local beer and you'll be fine! (as in: 'as sound as a pound', used to be - before inflation went mad in the late 80s) Erm, that's it for now....
