Hi to you all,

Is anyone from the West Midlands - especially the black country???

Get in touch if you are - would love to hear from you.

I'm from Wordsley originally.

Who'd admit to it on a public forum?

Well I'd rather be from the Black Country than anywhere in the south (having lived there for 10 years).

very near in Hereford,

Just pulling your leg

My OH's family are from close to that area - Brownhills and Walsall Wood, and I lived near Evesham for over 12yrs.

It's funny I was back in November for a month unexpectedly and I really enjoyed being there. Although I did make two trips to Wolverhampton, that place never gets any better.

I am in Stoke on Trent, not a million miles away.

born in Birmingham , lived in <hack /spit> Redditch for first 18 years

Born and bred in the black country AND PROUD OF IT!!!

yeah, we know!! Avoid the place like the plague! Mum got mugged in the mander centre some years back too!!!

Oh Zoe

That's one of the saddest things I've read on here in a long time.

Condolences.

So you've had too much of a good thing?

Yep!! Want more out of life, and the best for my little girls

The <spit> Redditch bit or the Birmingham bit?

I consider myself lucky to ever have escaped <spit> Redditch , given the wonderful road system , usually people spend about 10 years on avergae just trying to get off the ringroad!
