Walsall. Beachdale estate.

In fact. If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position to be in Walsall visit the art gallery, the voice in the lift is Noddy's ...

6/10. Never been there but I started watching Peaky Blinders this week so I have learned a lot.
I wonder whether that security expert (forgotten his name) got misled watching Paki Blinders.

I got 8/10 but I have been there. The oddest thing about Birmingham is how few Brummies you meet outside the place. They either love it or don't know how to read road maps.

Did OK,actually Ive always quite liked the place and the area,family who live there,friends who live and vicar there and so on.Always enjoyed times in Birmingham and the Midlands generally.Fear not Brummies,I ll stick up for you!:smile:
 
8/10, no idea about the European Cup question, and mislead by what I consider a trick question about Tolkein and Sarehole Mill, a place I remember well from my childhood.

The only good things to come out of Birmingham are the roads to elsewhere.
