I was walking down a towpath on the BCN when I saw a lad fishing.

"Caught anything?" I asked, as you do.

"Aye. A whale," said he.

:A Whale!" says I. "That's remarkable in Birmingham. What did you do
with it?"

"I threw it back in."

"Why?" I demanded. "That could have been a great waterscape story!"

"Cos it were too small t'fit me boik," he said.

the Basy, bless 'im.

He knows worse jokes than that, though!

I know that things have gone downhill since Cadburys sold out, but who moved
Bourneville to the Black Country?

I have just been having a look around to see if I could come up with a name
for Black Country dwellers. The only thing I could come up with was
Morlocks...
