Its about time we had something to be proud of in Brum, as a shopaholic I'm a bit gutted that we've got these georgeous shops 6 months before I leave though. I'm making the most of them whilst I'm here!
Come to the Bullring everyone, its fantastic!

Havn't even visited the new Bull ring yet
I'm a Merry Hill Girl and like free parking, less pick pocketing and no-one trying to clean my windscreen with spit and a tissue on the way in
Sorry!!

Yes there is that Earlswood, I could only sell it on the bullring, just trying to be positive after slagging the place off for so many years, probably just a bit sentimental because of going!

ok...got to ask...showing my ignorance on a HUGE scale now....but they dont have bullfights at this bullring do they??? 'No of course they dont you silly cow' I hear you all shout!!!
If ya dont mind me saying the new ''bullring'' looks hideous - what were the birmingham planners thinking? transplant a little bit of Dubai in there and it will make it more appealing? They are trying to build 'contemporary' in Sheffield - the town centre is now such a hotchpot (the town planners call it a melting pot!!) of architecture its joke!!!
bring back red brick and straw huts!!!

Hello Sue,
Absolutely no bull fights there! Shopping only, and whilst I can see that it may not be everyones architectural taste, it is a huge improvment on how it was! Even if the outside of Selfridges isn't your cup of tea, the inside is shopping heaven!

I once went into the Rotunda to install some SW. I will always remember the radiators not fitting properly as they hadn't been designed for a circular building!

Remember that getting the STNI nomination is just the first step. Once you have your nomination from them you still have to apply for your residence visa.
Am still working on getting that information on Town planning in Oz for you (despite your implying that I am an eastern suburbs snob). I try to be forgiving
