Fifty Great Things to Come Out of the Midlands by Robert Shore

3.0

Having recently moved to the West Midlands, I thought this might be interesting.

Good things:
Motorhead
Canals (one outside the apartment)
The Archers (my Dad loves this)
Hobbits

Questionable things:
Marmite
The Salvation army
Stilton cheese
America (yes, you read that right.)

What the read didn't mention, were great things that came out of Birmingham:
The cooker
The photocopier
The vacuum cleaner
Smoke alarms
The pacemaker and so on.


More suited as a booklet for American tourists.
A middling three i.e. on the fence.
