    I was born in Coventry and still have family there and I CAN actually find my way around without resorting to sat-nav.
    No - I got stuck on the Coventry ring road when I was working at Marconi. Three months later, I finally managed to get off at the exit and never looked back.

      Live somewhere like Glasgow - much better!
      There is absolutely nowhere like Glasgow.

        You're not wrong there. I worked in Cowglen, near Pollock for a year.

        Never again.

              You'd think so wouldn't you. Yet I've lived down south all of my 35+ years, sometimes in dodgy parts of London, got tulip faced and staggered home out of my head at all hours and never been a victim of crime or witnessed it (apart from some football hooligans fighting - and they were from the north).

              Perhaps it's me committing all the crime when I'm tulipfaced.

                Let's be honest sg, most muggers would take one look at your dishevelled appearance and either offer you money for a can or two of Special Brew, or at the very least let you amble harmlessly by. You would need to go on one of those makeover programmes just to be allowed to sell the Big Issue!!

                  That's because nobody wants to get to anywhere in Redditch anyway.
