I just wonder how many people are living in Birmingham now. Maybe we can talk about the city, people (there are so many Chinese in UK :shock: ), supermarkets (I go to Sainsbury every week), food and weather (I LOVE the sunshine, but it's always raining here)...

It's a huge city- the second in the UK. I went there this summer for the first time in years.;-)

Yeah, it's really huge and crowded of people when you go to city center on weekends. And I know you're living in London, right? Although I haven't been to London before, I think London is like a city much more than Birmingham. I don't know whether the food and weather are alike or not. I listen to BBC broadcast everyday and enjoy the standard BE like enjoy some beautiful music! But I prefer the accent of London-English. :wink: The accent of people here is a little bit hard to understand. :?

I don't think there's much diffference in the weather or the food, though I noticed that restaurants in Birmingham were considerably cheaper than here. The accent is, however, very different. ;-)
