In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Fox News: Making America Dumb Since 1996 [View all]Pacifist Patriot
(24,653 posts)11. I loved my time in Birmingham.
Locals thought I was a touch mad. As soon as they found out I actually chose to be there on holiday, they treated me like royalty in the pubs and wine bars. They were flabbergasted someone would pick it as a vacation spot. LOL!
(Reality: I had chosen to tag along while my husband was there on business, but I figured they could use the nice warm feeling of being truly wanted.)
Birmingham makes a great base to explore the midlands. The city itself has wonderful things to see and do and The Heart of England rail pass is awesome! I explored from Stratford to Shrewsbury while I was there.
I have been thoroughly enjoying the #foxnewsfacts on Twitter. I think my favorite is "The weather in Great Britain changes from Sunni to Shi'ite."
