Always preferred the Shires address, I was either Worcestershire or Staffordshire now its West Mids so lumped together with the Brummies

Sorry to hear this.

Enough said.

I left Norris green for skem in 79, it's utopia .

Living in Parbold I was doing an OU course in the 80s. Drove a minicab for 22247. Amazing access to single mothers. Did my averages no harm at all.

Not in Lancashire.

Where is it?

Greater Manchester

Greater Manchester

Poor Wigan.

Honestly thought it cane under West Lancs.

Historically I'd assume Wigan was Lancs.

Sorry to hear this.

Hopefully I'll be long gone from this earth by the time they create "Greater Birmingham ".

There is nothing 'great' about that area so you'll be around while

It was at that point everything became scruffier overnight, right?

Confusing as you like, the West Midlands County thing. Especially when you've got the wider West Midlands Region. Do you see the East Midlands lumping together it's scruffiest and unloved towns and cities into one East Midlands county surrounded by others that comprise the whole? Um, I guess that's Leicestershire actually.

I digress, Greater Birmingham is actually sensible and helps entrench the scruffiness. Just don't tell people in Harborne, Solihull and Sutton as they'll object to being called scruffs. They'd feel happier if they just accepted being scruffs with money.

I'm sure it is. Liverpool and Manchester were always part of Lancashire until Merseyside and Greater Manchester came about.

We just don't accept being called Brummies!
