rjw63 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 that mind the gap program on BBC, decent program until the inevitable happened... "manchester should be the UKs 2nd city because it has this great hub in Salford Quay that Birmingham doesnt..." that would be media city, the one that you built.... no BBC bias Yes and Yes. Manchester get Media City, Commonwealth games. Birmingham get Pebble Mill closure, a non backed Olympic bid, and not even the UK capital of culture which went to Londonderry/Derry. Birmingham is nearly twice the size of Manchester. The greater urban areas are similar though. Should be called Greater Birmingham like Greater Manchester. West Midlands is too vague. They are actually considering this, was on the radio yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Why would people eat raisins? Grapes with the best thing taken out, the juice! Raisins are like bogeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a massive reason why Brum suffers so much, the attitude of the people local to it.

RimmyJimmer Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Do people from Oldham, Bolton etc, react that way to Manchester I wonder? I'm only being silly! Wouldn't bother me to be honest. I think the bigger issue is the people from birmingham thinking we're not the second city! We should be more proud of our city rather than running it down.

I know yeah I'm just generally interested how people in Manc's fringe towns feel. Yep, Brummie locals need to stop being so miserable, we've got a bronze bull for gods sake!

Ingram85 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm a south brummie lad but spent time in hall green and now living in Oldbury. Can't stand the city centre, I shop at merry hill or locally to home or work (kings heath/Moseley). But I'm still proud of the city's heritage and history and I'd stand up for it against some inbred, apelike, wonky walking hairy manc word removed.

Wainy316 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I think the city centre is quite decent these days and is continuing to develop nicely. Edited March 11, 2014 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a big discussion on the people of Sutton Coldfield the other day, not wanting to be part of the city. thats basically what the program last night went on to say, that cities thrive if you can create a hub and the bigger you are the bigger you'll get, whereas Brum isnt interested in that, they highlighted west brom and sugegsted spending money there was a waste of time, said that parts of the north merging to form a super city would be the only way to stop london being so dominant the labour MP from stoke got interviewed a couple of times about it, spoke a lot of sense, about london getting a new £35m bridge covered in trees and that HS2 will start in london and build its way out rather than the other way round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
