Birmingham - a wonderful metropolis at the heart of the UK with a population of more than one million people making it unrivalled by any other UK city.

A city which gave the world the Steam Engine and hence the Industrial Revolution, JRR Tolkein and Lord of the Rings, Cadburys Chocolate, the Mini, Magnetic Levitational Transport, Land Rover, Celluloid the world's first plastic...the list is endless!

Birmingham without a doubt - 1 million population makes it far bigger than any other insecure wannabe rival.

Birmingham was the birthplace of the modern world inventing steam power and was the first to use fossil fuels to produce power.

The population of the world would still be living in mud huts but for the great inventions of Birmingham!
Birmingham the Second City of the UK we salute you for your great advancement of world civilisation!

Manchester is the second city of the UK. Birmingham is simply a large sewer full of rats, that explains the large population. Manchester is not beaten in anything by any other UK city, and especially not the village of Birmingham.
"Holy crap! I am in Manchester! I love it so much! This place is more like the first city of the UK, let alone the Second City of the UK!"

"Ohhh I need to take a dump! Jump in the car kids we're going to Birmingham!"
