Re: The Knowledge

The problem was mostly that *I* don't really know Birmingham at all, and as far as I could tell, neither did they. And that second part didn't surprise the Irish bloke at all.

"I want to go to X" (something attached to a university *in* Brum)

"Where's that?" (If I knew that, I'd have come in my own car, idiot, because I enjoy spending extra on train travel exactly >< that much.)

The Irish bloke, however, knew the city.
