I lived in Birmingham for 3 years and miss that city so much. No one, all around uk, can believe me when I say that. I am pretty sure there are so many cities all around uk prettiest than B’ham and where you’re more safe, ok, got that, but I still love that city. Birmingham has been my home for 3 years! 5 years in uk now, living in Edinburgh and planning to move to Australia, but I’m still in love with Birmingham and even if it’s not the best city in the world, my favourite memories are all from there. Thanks for your video and your time, I really enjoyed it. You just made me feel so in love with your town again and I miss Birmingham even more now!

As a fellow west midlands-er, I love your passion for Birmingham. Thanks for showing bournville. Despite going to bournville everyday for meetings, having friends there at one point and now every several weeks to the QE Hospital, I have never the chance to look around. Great job, It's jewel I never knew about. Buildings though are amazing as you drive from cotteridge to Selly Oak. Love it.

This lady is very young, many of the buildings she refers to as old only date back to the 1960s, I am 68 years old and already on to my third Bull Ring, New Street Station and Library. By the way, the Cadbury family were Quakers and left instructions that no public houses (pubs) could be built on Bournville Village Trust land which extends for some distance outside the actual village itself.

Born and raised in a back to back in Small Heath, moved to Lea Village, then Stechford, Birchfield, Bromford and now Bordesley, none of these places are "posh". I'm not so naïve as to not know there are some problem areas, but on the whole this city is safe and beautiful.

And after they chop up digbeth Road system it's going to keep a good many more away from the city centre. Its already been reported as ' the death of Birmingham shopping' . We will all know more when the traffic has been reduced and people decide to or not decide to go to Birmingham City centre and move to merryhill to shop where parking won't be an issue, if the council were desperate to raise funds because they've overspent on Perry Barr, then this wasn't the way to do it, in my opinion. Another ill thought out project to get people out of cars and onto BUSSES Probably thought out by public transport users. Internet shopping I can definitely see increasing.

. You are right, it is dirty in some areas where people don't give a stuff about the city they live in. I've lost count of how many people drop litter out their pockets or out of car windows or empty their car ash trays onto the street. Maybe it's dirty because the council want to waste money on projects such as they are. It's has been reported recently that the councils policies for less pollution will actually increase it. So how clean is clean? . 🤔 Its all pollution in the end

If you did a part two maybe hit up the surrounding areas :)? Like cannock chase, Stratford upon Avon, etc. Avoiding wallsall at all costs 😭😭😭

Yeah those were my thoughts... Except the Walsall part but I'll keep that in mind 😂

Manchester is just a redbrick city nothing spectacular about it couple of football teams that’s all they have really a bit of music. If you’re into their type of music Noel Gallagher and all that 🤣

If you think Manchester is Awesome, Once you have visited Birmingham and it's modern City and Tourist attractions you wont ever want up to ta grim North and visit Coronation Street in Manchester

Did Part 2 ever happen? Did it include Moseley Bog (Tolkien connection and all that), the Jewellery Quarter, the Balti Triangle, Aston Hall, or useless trivia like Brum having more canals than Venice, three times as many trees as people, and that Birmingham, NOT Liverpool, is the epicentre of world music, being home to bands such as Black Sabbath, UB40, Duran Duran, Moody Blues and dozens more?

Hi I'm a Californian from USA going to stay with my extended family in Birmingham UK. I'm honestly quite scared to get hit in the face with culture shock because I basically know little to nothing about the UK. The only place I've been to is London but only for a few days. This time, I'm going alone to Birmingham alone. Any tips on USA vs UK culture shock?
