Yes Tom - I'm a Brummie born and bred until about 20 years ago when I moved here. Don't go moving any closer to 'them' though (although when I visit the Black Country museum I keep very quiet on the subject )

Re: Cant wait to settle in

That's sad news C/C. The bikes of today are to fast for anyone i think. I tried a friends super sportsbike and it was silly trying to keep on with a bit of style. Saying that i'm getting to old for anything faster than soil erosion

My Dad was always a bike enthusiast and, at one point, had about 5 of them so I grew up used to being on motorbikes then I married a man who also loved motorbikes! They can be fun unless you are behind a huge lorry on the motorway and your helmet doesn't fit too well so it lifts up and is knocking you senseless as it bangs backwards and forwards on your head

Brummies think I've gone all posh but visiting Brummies (here) recognise it but oddly enough, the locals don't. I hail originally from South Birmingham so I is posh anyways

He didn't die riding a bike. In fact he didn't have one.
He was a passenger on the sidecars for about 30 years.
He was so keen though that his last wishes were to be scattered there.

I love the Isle of Man and would like another holiday there soon. Last time was in 2008 at the TT time so would prefer a quieter time, although my OH would probably not say that.
