The thing is, I've been here nearly 40yrs, and I'm still classed as "that Brummie", which is fine, and I'm proud to be one, but its not seen like that, locally. A Brummie is a Dummy. Still dont care, as, like you said, its a nice place

I worked for a year at Hawthorn Garage Streetly just along the road from the Parson and Clerk back in 1950, is the garage still there?
It used to be a cottage style workshop with 4 or 5 petrol pumps out front and an orchard out back with a few pre-war cars between the trees.
