anyone else going? Anyone drinking in Birmingham before? I'm sure anyone going has been before but I'd avoid Aston itself unless you've ever wondered what Somalia would be like if everyone had the world's most horrific accent.
Two local recomendations, The wellington on Bennetts Hill 20+ real ales for the camra fans, or The square peg in Corporation st (wetherspoons)...usual fayre
I've got a spare train ticket for about 11pm Birmingham - Watford but you wouldn't have an issue at that time going through to Euston. If anyone needs it, PM me your email and I'll send over.
