What do you see when you picture the Midlands?

[colditz]

To all Mumsnetters who don't live in the Midlands...what do you think it is like there? And how do you picture the people?

yiour children are all fathered by your GP's!

LOL, no, not my house, it's the area I live in. It is known locally as Colditz, as it is built like a maze, full of criminals, and once the council have placed you here you have no chance of getting off!

The local Chavs are known as Colditzers... hence my previous nickname was Colditzmum.

An ironic poke at how we are judged by where we live.... if you like

Yes, Midlands is full of randy Gps!

lol!

well i live in sussex! i am very posh and own a huuuuuuuge house. i shop at waitrose and have staff.

in my dreams

the black country. barren bleak countryside. also spaghetti junction and brummies

Everyone in Sussex is called Tarquin and Cressida and have staff with names like Consuela, and a lady called Betty who 'does' for them.

Now, don't spoil it all for me.

sobernow - do you live in Cov now? If not, I agree it must be a curse

that's why they call it "Sent to coventry"

it's a punishment.

dh is from Rugeley (originally SA but another story..). Is that classed as the Midlands?

colditz - where are you?

Rugeley near Stoke?

Erm, yes I suppose so. Near Stafford? Cannock Chase??

Leicestershire. Land of smelly cheese and fields you're not actually allowed to walk in.

must dash. tarquin is waiting for me. he is wearing his half of our his and hers egyptian cotton bathrobes.
and i really do need to get consuela to start work on the fresh croissants for breakfast.

toodle pip daaaaaaaahlings!

i once met a boy from the internet in cannock

im not far from Cov - about 20 mins but it is lovely here - cov city centre is vile

Could you arrange a Midlands meetup when I am there in December??
