Line 2:
Not to be confused with [[Sweet Home Alabama|the one in Alabama]] (it's really more like [[Motor City|Detroit]]), Birmingham is the second most populous city in the United Kingdom, with a population in the metropolitan borough itself of about one million and a further million and a bit in the surrounding area. It's jokingly referred to as one of the ugliest cities in the world - and that's by it's own inhabitants.
Located in [[The Midlands]], about 100 miles NW of [[London Town]], the city has produced a good number of famous British personalities, including [[Waking the Dead|Trevor Eve]], [[
A major industrial centre and a transport hub too, the city is also a major centre for UK media.
