Sorry Tramp I never actually lived in that area, was just visiting my old mum at the Mason Lodge, first right off Lincoln Rd. It's actually just inside Olton on the boundary, not exactly the posh end of Solihull. When my dad was alive they lived close to Shirley station and their local was the Drawbridge Pub on the canal.
To answer your question, Tramp, I'm in Ottawa, Ontario. It was chosen by Queen Victoria as the capital 150 yrs ago when Toronto and Montreal couldn't agree. Used to be a rough old lumber town but now it's half-civilised, no spitting allowed.
Also nice to meet you too, Mazbeth.
