e type.... did you like the bit in Terdington?

oi corrado... most of brum is quite nice ill have you know! I just rode round some of the s**t holes :lol: I moved 20 miles north over 20 years ago and tbh I wouldn't want to move back near the city center, its changed so much in that time that the old Brum I remember just isn't there any more :(

tbh when I got home and decided what to do with the footage I wished I had rode to loads of other landmarks around the city, one day ill plan a route with the video footage in mind and do a proper tour of sunny brum :)

I like Birmingham. It had character. Not so much now. It's going the way of most cities these days.

I know we have drifted onto Birmingham, but my wife moved down there in the late 70's as a punk rocker and lodged with two transsexuals. And her local was the CROWN HOTEL, HILL ST BIRMINGHAM, which was and still is a haunt for the punks and they have their own FB page.

We went down there for the weekend a few years back and had a great time, but the Crown was not to my cup of tea.

Just saying.
