Hi there Ian,

>A "Brummie" - note subtle difference in spelling! - is a native of
>Birmingham (Warwickshire, England for the benefit of our overseas guests).

I think this was great Ian as I have never heard of it before, I
personally do not have any in my line from that area but something
like this is always good to know.

Glad you mentioned that Birmingham was in Warwickshire as there
are heaps of people out there who are not lucky enough to have
maps of different parts of the UK. One of the first things I
did when I went to the UK many years ago was to get one of the
RAC maps, I can assure you that it was worth ever penny I paid for it.

Also, I notice that many people just put the names of towns
never realizing that they could be from any country...Australia,
NZ, Canada, south Africa and the US are riddled with UK town
names.

Just thought I would put in my two penneth worth! Hope you
don't mind.

Byeeeee from sunny Queensland, Australia.
Bon
