I felt a bit guilty for gently slagging off Birmingham on the UK Bloggers Social mailing list last week by saying:
As far as I could tell when I was there a couple of weeks ago, "not finished" is about the only way I could describe it. :)
I'm sure it will be a really lovely, vibrant city when it's done, but right now it seems about halfway there.
The people were lovely (even the bloke in Sainsbury's who chatted to me while I was at the checkout - causing me to do a startled double-take, cos, y'know, we don't do that sort of thing in London), but the city itself gave me nightmares when I was trying to find my way around.
... and I'm not even going to get started on the hotel...
To be fair, I did have a streaming cold and was a bit out of sorts, which may have coloured my judgement, so I'm dedicating this week as Brum Week, because I just got the lomo photos I took while I was there back from Jessops, and, well, it's actually rather pretty.
