In September I returned to Birmingham -- for the EGM of my Professional union --- held in the Rep theatre -
It was a controversial event, which sadly for some had a not so good ending...
The food was excellent so top marks for the caterers except the apples were very green and very hard.
We stayed overnight in the only hotel with available rooms Ibis Budget-- good value for the Price and secure parking -- but difficult to find. After 4 circuits of nearby streets and enquiring at other same named hotels --- who said it is just over there or behind there., found it really by luck more than anything. Satnav was confused so that was turned off ,think it thought we were off to Alabama.
I did not recognise the city centre ,thought it would have changed after the intervening years but did not expect quite as much. There seemed to be more over and underpasses than I recalled but when I was there travelled on buses and trains. I would have liked to have stayed another night or 2 but something called work beckoned. One day would like to return to Moseley and see how much that has changed since working at the Sorrento Hosp. Happy memories
