Yay, west midlands, that's where I'm from. Nope you'll have no trouble with them. Willenhall is in the heart of the 'black country' It was the heart of the industrial revolution, they'll think they've arrived in heaven mate. salt of the earth but they do talk very very strangely.

See that's another great thing about being here, the inhabitants are aware and proud of what they've got going on. There may be somewhere in the world that's a tad better, I don't know, but it's so good here it ain't worth the search.

I've always known and it makes me chuckle when people rave about the Tower of London, the Taj Mahal etc (all very cool, don't get me wrong) and you ask them what Milford Sound is like. "Dunno, never been there." Knobs.

Roll on summer...............
