...and yes, I happen to think most of England is a shithole and I wouldnt hesitate to move to a shithole abroad somewhere...at least it would be a hot shithole! :D

What a thoroughly miserable outlook on life.

Indeed. I love England and think it is the best country in the world.  Well, second maybe after the Isle of Man, which is skill.

Love my hometown, especially town, Lozells, Aston, Handsworth, Newtown and Ladywood. Any excuse and I'm there.

You'd only moan about the humidity and that you couldn't find HP sauce in any of the shops.

Portugal is hot but it still a shithole, can't leave your kids unattended without them getting abducted.

What is the world coming to when a couple can't get bladdered out of their skulls with their mates while their kids are left alone in a strange hotel room next to a busy road at the age of two?

Christ. Its looking like Walsall is the only place left if you want your kids to remain free from the threat of abduction!

I used  to always get into disagreements about the state of Birmingham with my mates when at college. I used to slag it off, they used to praise it. Yet, over a decade later, I think I'm the only one still living here. Odd that.

Surely every city has areas like this?

Even London as proved by the London Riots.

TRS-T. I get the feeling you think I was being sarcastic. I can assure you I wasn't. I love inner-city Brummagem.
Altogether now 'Oh there ain't no snow in Snow 'ill'.

I'm pretty sure Percy genuinely does love those areas.
