Growing up in Erdington, we always "went up the village" too. Decades later when I was working in Kent and in a work meeting someone asked me where I came from. When I said Erdington he laughed and said Oh is that the place they call the village? That was the first time I'd ever realised that "going up the village" wasn't a completely normal thing to say.
