Coventry used to be in the county of Warwickshire but I've been told that it is now in the West midlands. Nuneaton 8 miles north is still warks but how can that not be the west midlands. :roll: Apparently Warwickshire lost Birmingham as well so the brummies must be completely confused. :?
Why do they have to change things......b****y beurocrats :evil:

I've not been sent there yet, Geoff, mind you, after saying that you'll probably do it for me :wink:

Dewi 2, I hated it when they changed Wolvo and made us West Mids and not South Staffordshire. I live on the W-ton/South Staffs border and the South Staffs bit is much nicer. If we lived a few hundred yards down the road our council tax would be cheaper, yet our house would be worth double it is here. Doesn't make sense :roll:

By the way, isn't there a Willenhall in Coventry? I know the one between Wolvo and Walsall, got a sister in Portobello. Just that I'm sure I've heard of one in Coventry.

I was born in Nuneaton, then moved to Birmingam and then moved to Coventry :D

I found Coventry being classed as West Midlands very, very weird :D

I just realised I've been to Hinkley. Went to watch motorbike racing with hubby back in the 70s, not far from there, I think it was Mallory Park.
