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!

Difficult call - either way you deserve sympathy.

Glad you escaped from the 'ditch.

Hi
Born near Rugby, so sort of West Mids. Lived in Belbroughton near Brum, worked in Cov and Brum for a while - then moved east....and finally way out west to BC.

Does that count?

OH and I lived in Coventry, worked in Birmingham. OH was born and raised in West Bromwich. We've been in Canada for just over a year - went back for a week 6 months in, and couldn't believe how filthy and disgusting the whole place was.

Hi, I spent the first 16 years of my life in Solihull, I became 16 years old and I ran off and joined the Navy, and spent 25 years roaming around the seven seas and five oceans. Visiting exotic places and some not so exotic places. Having spent 25 years being cramped up in various sized warships & submarines with between 200 and 1000 people onboard at any one time I desired more space, mmmm where shall I go mmmm ah ! I know, how about Canada, right out in the Prairies. Now I am surrounded by trees, fields, cats and Horses. Great, luv it
