Wonderful Birmingham!

Say what you like about our second city, but i went to last Friday's Goldfrapp concert at the carling academy, and, after picking up some friends from Kettering, negotiated the M6,the Aston Expressway AND managed to park the Fabia VRs in less than an hour!
It was all in the Friday rush-hour too!
It often takes me more than that length of time to drive the 5 miles from my house to Leicester City Centre.
Well done to the Birmingham traffic planners, there were only 2 sets of traffic lights between the M6 and the car park!
Oh, and Goldfrapp were wonderful too! (i just worship Alison)

I see no reason to gloat - we have far more traffic lights

Glad you enjoyed the concert
