dAVe80 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Reminds me of Mike Whitby (Birmingham [Ex?]Council Leader) suggesting that Aston Villa should be called Birmingham Villa, so avoid confusion about where they're from.. Shush! Don't get him started again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Paint everything green except for the motorways which should be yellow. We'll call Birmingham 'The Emerald City' and the West Midlands 'Oz'. Driving north up the M5 from Bromsgrove it should look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Surely it's WARWICK that's the "county town" of WARWICKSHIRE? Not Coventry..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 An easy solution to this confusing problem. I'm not confused. What problem are you trying to solve? I"m very confused. But then I suppose that figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFy Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Surely it's WARWICK that's the "county town" of WARWICKSHIRE? Not Coventry..? TRS-T's twisted reality revolves around a spot just under 52.46801, -1.86881. The knowledge at distance from this spot is related only to folklore.

You always hear about 'the North-West' or 'the North-East' or the 'South-West' or the 'South East'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRS-T Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 And you hear about 'the Midlands' Yeah when we should be hearing about the West Midlands. For example, the media would refer to Villa or Stoke as a Midlands club. What they should be calling us is a West Midlands club. They wouldn't call Newcastle a Northern club would they? They would say the 'North-East club' For example in Leicester they have BBC East Midlands today. In Birmingham we have BBC Midlands today. It should be BBC West Midlands today but they don't call it that because of the confusion over the term 'West Midlands' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRS-T Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 My point is this: The North East and the North West are treated as separate regions. The South East and the South West are treated as separate regions. So why aren't the East Midlands and the West Midlands treated as separate regions?
