Birmingham, decent areas to live

[pjsmum]

Thinking of applying for a job in saltley, B'ham. does anyone know what its like? And suggest areas within 10miles or so that would be nice to live in. The job is in a school in saltley, don't want to live there or too close by! Thanks

[NuttyMuffins]

Sutton schols have same hols as all schools in brum but yep solihull is different education authority.

[tiredemma]

Sutton still come under bham city council i think ( as much as they hate it)

[IntergalEGGticWalrus]

if pjsmum has girls, they could go to Camp Hill, eh flatmouse?

[flatmouse]

Sorry IGW didn't see you'd already mentioned Hall Green.

From Saltley though you could go towards Nuneaton, Tamworth - handy for snow dome...

[NuttyMuffins]

Do they hate it ?? I didn't know that, probably true though, alot of them are snobby.

[HoraceWimp]

I wouldnt live in nuneaton or tamworth if you paid me

[OrvilleRedenbacher]

i nver minded btu locals did

[NuttyMuffins]

I think parts of Tamworth are ok but there are lots of dodgy parts too.

[flatmouse]

LOL thought that when i saw your earlier posting about Kings Heath. I was dragged up in Moseley/Kings Heath area too - many a New Years eve drifting from pub to pub along the alcester rd....

[NuttyMuffins]

I don't mind but then i'm dead common

[Nip]

Have any of you been to Moseley/Kings Heath recently for a night out? It's fab, they have done it up and there are loads of really great places to go.

[IntergalEGGticWalrus]

The Red Lion in Vicarage Rd was my boozer of choice. In there straight from school some days

I wasn't allowed in the Hare and Hounds

[tiredemma]

oh yes, most peeps from sutton hate it being identified as Birmingham.

I used to work with a woman who would become incandesant with rage everytime someone called her a brummie or asked her which area of brum she lived in.

[HoraceWimp]

lets hope they dont move down south then tiredemma, as I dont even come from birmingham but get reffered to as the 'brummie', her from birmingham'and shes from the midlands what do you expect?'

[jampot]

right I am the authorityt on good areas in Brum

so pjsmum - tell us a little about yourself and what you like and we'll givce you some areas to try.

[Nip]

i hate been called a brummie too! (I dont even have a brummie accent)

[jampot]

Crikey intergalactic we used to frequent the Red Lion on Vicarage Road too - or at least until I was about 16

[IntergalEGGticWalrus]

I live down south, and I get the piss ripped out of me something rotten

They do that annoying "yam from Buuuuuurminguuum" in a shite Balck Country accent

[HoraceWimp]

where are you from nip?

[Nip]

Near Solihull

[flatmouse]

IGW - why weren't you allowed in Hare & Hounds? I worked there a few hols once i was old enough (and drank there for 2 years before i was old enough )

Hare & Hounds, Station, Village Inn (when first opened) and Prince of Wales.

[jampot]

im in solihull grew up in Hall Green

its changed a lot

[IntergalEGGticWalrus]

I went in e red lion not long ago. they have done it up and it's shite

[HoraceWimp]

solihull is nice

nutty tamowrth is awful. My aunt lives thwere and they are all inbred. the town smells and is full of rubbish and its just a fragmented community. i hate it, awful awful place

[IntergalEGGticWalrus]

Oh, i used to go in there, but without telling my mum, who thought it was rough.

I lived on haunch lane for a bit, and there were some rough pubs up there (likethe valley and the warstock)

used to drink in stirchley a lot too
