Fair play to the guy. He sucked it up and raced.

Brilliant !
There was a similar story a few years back where a honeymoon couple had accidentally booked a trip to Honolulu Alaska or whatever it was and ended up in a mining camp in the frozen north. Locals lent them anoraks and so on and the had such a good time and made a lot of friends so they deliberately booked to go again the next year

"Birmingham was the coolest place I've been to in the UK yet," he said. "It was really fabulous.
Good for Brum.
Ah wait
In the meantime, Mr Hoopingarner is making the most of his first visit to the UK and is holidaying in Edinburgh and London, with plans to also go to Dublin.

Sounds like the story I read on a business travel forum about the Texan couple who the writer sat next to, on a Lufthansa flight from the USA to Frankfurt. The steward comes round with the lunch trolley and asks the gentleman where he and his wife are going. The Texan replies: " Well last year we went to Munich and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we thought we'd go again except to a different town, so this year we're going to Munchen".
"But Sir," replies the LH steward, "Don't you know that Munich and Munchen is the same town?"
"Oh really? Looks like we goofed there. Oh well, we might as well go again!"
"Well never mind," says the steward. "How about some of this caviar?"
"Cav-viar? Cay-viar? What's that?"
"Oh you know Sir, just fish eggs!"
"Sure.... give me two!"
At which point, reportedly, the German steward rushes off to hide behind the curtain of the galley from which the sounds of barely-suppressed hysterical laughter can be heard for the next few minutes.
