It's a bit like a dartboard, pleasant fairly compact centre ringed by a hinterland where I would not be happy to live then a more affluent outer belt. Most of the satellite towns are good, the further North you go the more they resembles Stoke that is "Northern" (no offence intended Tommy Blush)

Did you see the Mosque near Small Heath station Slippy? Very impressive building.

Did I see it? I was parked right outside the thing! I was visiting my mate who I knew from years ago but had no idea where I was going. Don't get me wrong Foinavon, everyone was friendly and I got no hassle whatsoever but some clean cut, short back and sides white bloke stood out like a sore thumb.

Worksop to the southerners its North of watford so its Oop North to them - that s the end of the matter as far as they are concerned.

Midlanders dont think of themselves as midlanders but that whats the Northerens think of them. TBF it is on the edge of the Midlands. It is 20 mile or so from Sheffield down  the M1 so its pushing at Northernish. The true test is whether you can get gravy with your chips ( KFC doesnt count ).

Big Bill Werbeniuk used to live in a bus outside the local snooker club and live in the bus , practice in the club and drive up sheffield to play. Westwood is its most famous son these days but Big Bill will always be my adopted favourite of the town.  In relation to dinner , unless you are upper class dinner is at mid day if you are from anywhere north of watford. During my university days I missied a meeting with a new southern friend as he said i'll see you in the refectory for dinner - he wasn't there at lunch time and I wasnt there at tea time. If Lee thinks dinner is at tea time he's been hanging around with Allis too long

We all get along quite well here Slippy. Does Cameron realise that when he devolves powers to the cities we might become a caliphate.

What are your thoughts on the Ryder Cup g2d? Europe is so short for the outright win, I'm reluctant to get involved at the price.
By:
guinness2dear
When: 20 Sep 14 23:12
The US of A's price is an insult, O'Slips. But i shall wait till i see the weather before getting involved.

I got burned badly 2 years ago but admitted on the fred on HR that it was one of the rare times that i was glad i lost.

Indeed guinness3dear, it's the one contest that I just cannot back against us. I don't mind betting against England or Ireland on anything but I'll be damned if I ever bet on America to win the Ryder Cup. I think we will win but will wait til we hit levels ye devils if we get a ropey start on the first morning.

To lose on one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history was a masochistic pleasure.

I shall put a fred up now to get anyone who's interested early thoughts. It can stay up for the duration then.

Halesowen didn't look too bad.

That and West Brom are the only two places I've visited, in or near Birmingham.

For all I know I may have driven through Smethwick.
