Which bit would you consider to be your bit Gibbo
Birmingham's a big place, and a bit like Newcastle the bits even though they join together in urban continuum, the bits have their own distinctive loyalties and character.

Re: Nostalgia
Bought back lots of memories for me. I lived in Sutton Coldfield, but worked from an office in the centre
of Brum for a couple of years & then joined Ansells brewery as a trainee manager,
I did numerous relief duties around the city before getting my first pub, the Pelican, in Newtown.
