I must admit that, if I lived in Birmingham, I would try to escape - if only to find a better football team

 

[Themselves]

Ok. I am a brummie. Not my fault. Managed to escape a few years ago fortunately. There used to be a joke about who put the Ming in Birmingham.

And people wonder how the virus spreads..... unbelievable stupidity...

Janine, what is wrong with my beloved Aston Villa, or do you mean the other lot down the road,

I was talking about the other lot down the road but while we are on the subject of Villa, I am hoping our paths will cross soon.... (from a Baggies fan)??

 

[Chocy boy]

Janine, I'm sure it will, when all this shit is over, Take care and stay safe.

My son has just qualified as a paramedic in Birmingham and chucked in at the deep end. I do worry about how safe he is.

Grief Janine - how on earth do you come to be a Baggies fan?

Girl I was at senior school with and sat next to for the start of every schoolday went out with Jeff Astle, she thought she was wonderful but got dumped (for someone with a brain I should think); another girl a year below me, married Asa Hertford.

I have no actual connection with them other than the fact I was born and lived in West Brom and of course went up to the Town Hall in my new blue and white dress to see them bring the FA cup home! (1960 when? 3? 4? 5?)

Many Funsters I have met over the years claim to have been born in Birmingham, but now live here, there and everywhere......this I might say applies to me, born, raised, schooled and trained in Brum, then I left for the more rural, greener part of the UK to enjoy a different life......and now retired to the sun and sangria of Spain.
So to answer the original posting....."Sorry, wasn't me, I'm on LOCKDOWN"

I was born 4 miles from the Hawthorns, as was most of my family. I can trace my ancestors to that area back to the 15th century

My Dad was a West Brom born lad and played for their youth and reserves before National Service. After returning from extended National Service to earn a "decent" wage to suppoort his family (his own father died when he was very young and step Dad was crippled and ended his days in a wheel chair not long after). He had 7 sisters and a younger brother, as well as a couple more that died in infancy along with another "brother" that was actually his nephew but his sister was left pregnant and jilted at the alter so the family sort of hid the fact...... oh, and his step Dad had 4 children too! Unfortunately at a charity match he ripped his knee cap clean off as he twisted for a volley at goal and never played pro or semi-pro again...... The Strangest thing to the family was that he ended up meeting and marrying my Mum - a die hard Wolves fan! At the time this was unbelievable!

Am I correct in thinking that Birmingham is the wastelands between Watford & the Watford gap? ?

Er no - that's Milton Keynes

Well we lived about 2.5 miles away from the Hawthorns - 4m radius takes in the whole of West Brom, Hamstead, a lot of Gt Barr, Handsworth Wood at least, plus some of Handsworth, possibly Winson Green and part of flippin 'Smerrick' !

Sorry don't understand your comment.

You asked why I am a West Brom supporter. It is because my family come from that area and my Grandad used to take me to the games when I was young.

I am proud to be a Brummie.
Since the decline of manufacturing industry its actually become quite a nice place to live..
The City of Birmingham has spawned loads of famous people.. Architects, Politicians, Inventors, Sportsmen, Actors, Comedians, musicians etc.. the list goes on.
People take the P*SS out of our funny accent but we are not all thickos..

maybe with the exception of the below gentleman..

 

[sedge]

I still wouldn't choose to live in a backhouse or down eg Lozells, Handsworth, Small Heath, Alum Rock or Sparkhill, though ….. let alone in Margaret St in West Bromwich where I came from!
