    Actually, you're right. That is exactly how I think of those 3 establishments... especially when on a stroll back home from the Guild post-Fab
    True that. Personally when I'm in Brum the lure of the name 'Kebabland' is simply too beautiful for my drunken mind to see anything else.

    I did pick up on it... he ignored me

    he has seriously dampened my view on the city.

    We can thank Birmingham for back in 1889 the requirements of a city was changed because the government realised it lacked a Cathedral. So since 1889 a city hasn't required on to be a city although 123 years later people still think it does lol.

    I'm glad you do, honestly, and I would say the same for my city!

    My only problem is against Kibalchich, who's trying to enforce his opinion onto the whole country :rolleyes:
    I see!

    I think if I lived in the inner city I'd feel much differently. But I am lucky enough to live 20 mins from the centre and 5 minutes from mass fields and basically the countryside. Sutton Coldfield is a great place to live.

    If only Bolt could experience a good FAB, his life would then be complete. Alas, it will never be
