One day everyone will come up to Birmingham. Ideas are welcome.

We can do touristy things coz Lee hasn't done lots of them before. Lee has a new house! Woo!

Matt's ideas:

Birmingham Taxi Service

• Cadbury World

• Thinktank, Birmingham’s museum of science - a place where science and history come alive. Includes the IMAX cinema with its huge screen and surround sound, and a new Planetarium powered by the world's most advanced digital projection system.

• The Ackers Outdoor Adventure place. The 70 acre semi-rural site offers a wide range of activities including Skiing, Snowboarding, Climbing, Bridgering (?), Canoeing, Kayaking, Bellboating (?), Archery, Team Challenge Days, Management Training & Human Resource Development Courses, Orienteering, 4 Wheel Drive Course and more!

• For authentic Kashmiri food, discover Birmingham's "Balti Mile" a short distance from the city centre, where there are over 40 restaurants in the space of one mile.

• Broad Street

The Native Language:

Don`t forget to roll the 'r's and try not to vary the tone too much.

And whatever you do, don't forget that downward intonation at the end of the sentence. This, more than anything, is the mark of a true Brummie.

Get practising!
