I'm from London, my girlfriend from Stafford/Birmingham. I've been trying to convince her that given it's past the Watford Gap, Birmingham is either the Northern South or the Southern North. However she insists that it's neither of these. Please advise, and help me win domestic bliss.

I deny the existence of such a place. And anyway, if you look at a map it's /way/ further south than the middle of the country. Also it annoys her in funny ways to lump her in with either the south or north.

I love how everyone from Birmingham seems to have left Birmingham yet when you encounter them in Weston-Super-Mare or wherever they still just complain about loving Birmingham all the time.

Prenton posted:It's time for an important scientific survey quote:Arobieke was released on licence from prison on 26 October 2006. Unusually, Merseyside police applied to Liverpool Magistrates' Court for an interim Sexual Offences Prevention Order against him, although he was never convicted of a sex offence. Under the terms of the order, Arobieke was banned from touching, feeling, or measuring muscles; asking people to do squat exercises in public; entering the towns of St Helens, Warrington, or Widnes, without police permission; and loitering near schools, gyms, or sports clubs.[6] The ban was later overturned as "draconian" [12] but remained in force after a successful appeal by police.[13] Lol what a mentalist. Lol touching muscles is against the law.

Coming from the black country is kind of annoying because 1) stupid southerners think you're from birmingham and 2) stupid americans (ie all of them lol) think you're being racist when you say that's where you're from

Welsh beaches are nice if you don't mind freezing your tits off for the five seconds there's a break in the 'welsh rain' to justify shorts. Also too many English, you are the worst.

Studied in Brum for 4 years, thought I'd escaped the place when I finished uni but ended up getting a job down in Coventry. It seems you can't escape the West Midlands once you are tainted

I've always wanted to go to the Welsh beaches but that means driving through dead ex-industrial/mining towns and if I wanted to do that I'd just stay in the North.
