How well do you know Birmingham

[QUOTE 3474642, member: 45"]Not my experience. The Mailbox, in terms of nightlife, is a bunch of restaurants you'll find in any faceless newish development in any city centre. It's only slightly more upmarket than Broad St.[/QUOTE]
Fair enough, I lived in an apartment at the mailbox for 9 months so may have mis-read the place in that time.

9/10 - my only connection was having a cheap knock-off Birmingham City FC shirt as a nipper in an effort to score like Bob Latchford

Those were the days. We could pop into Romford, buy a club badge and sew it on a plain jersey (I recall my THFC supporting friends finding this especially convenient)

9/10 and I've only been through there on the train a few times.

[QUOTE 3474644, member: 45"]The IKEA on the M6 is miles from Birmingham.[/QUOTE]
It is. But not miles and miles away. We used to go there for tea on our way back from the Apple shop in the Bullring. The Bullring shop was our nearest Apple store at the time. We had friends who lived near New Street Station. The Creation Climbing wall was not wildly far from New Street Station either. I blooming loved that climbing wall.

10/10.

Never been there. All (educated) guesses. I guess I've heard the canals furphy, but it wouldn't be interesting if the answer was

Spoiler: spoiler

Venice

Apparently I am "Bostin' - you're a true Brummie." I had to google "bostin".

ie just what @User3094 says above

Console yourselves with a nice kipper tie.

I got 8/10 and I've only ever been passed on a bus!

 

[threebikesmcginty]

My lad got 8/10 and he hasn't even done it.

Bostin' - you're a true Brummie


You scored 9 out of 10

& Only been once to see a gig in the 90's

would have got 10 - if not put off by the scary picture ...

 

[Maverick Goose]

Not as well as I'd loike!

 

[TVC]

10 out of 10 for me. Mind you I'm a well travelled metrosexual sort of a chap.

I got 10 as well. But I'm not metrosexual.

Actually the Metro was built in Birmingham, and there was nothing sexual about that car.

The strange thing is BOSTIN is not Brummie , its Black Country. I work in Brum and they take the Micky out of for saying that
Small things....
