I spent several years in Birmingham one week.... :-)

Actually, I found it fun to walk the casino clubs and visit the museums... quite a few model shops too, as I recall!

just dont even atempt to go on the motorway during the day this is traffic jam central in the
uk there is a few model shops in the area best bet is to visit
www.yell.com
and put in the details for birmingham and model shops should give you a list of them
got to admitt the city is a site................BOMBSITE THAT IS! :-)

What can you do in Birmingham ?
There's a nice stroll along the canal, in the city center...
or you can buy indian food... and indian clothing...
I spent several weeks for work there and I was living in the indian/pakistani quarter.

Make fun of there accent and ask why nobody knows that they're the second largest city in England......Try to see Jasper Carrott.He's v. funny

:-) What to do in Birmingham?
Got to agree with Dave and Pete, avoid it Also, as Noodles says, make fun of the accent, it's nearly as bad as Scouse
Probably the best thing to do is to visit my brother, plenty of beer and a game of poker, plus you could check in on Armorama (No my brother and I aren't from Birmingham. Even if I was, I wouldn't own up to it)
ED Models, in Solihull is worth a visit. not the biggest shop in the world but has some good stuff.
