Get the birmingham screwdriver mug.Usually regarded as Britain's second city, although jealous Mancunians have started a web based propaganda campaign to take this title for themselves.
In reality, they can have it - although the title should maybe go to Glasgow (historiacally) or to Leeds (by size). Birmingham should really be the first city.
It depends how you define a city - The actual City of London is tiny. So is the City of Westmister. The rest of London is an urban sprawl of various towns, cities and suburbia. 'Greater London' is very big - but does not have city status.
Birmingham is the biggest "City" in Britain by a very substantial margin

I grew up in the Bull Ring in Birmingham, so people think I talk funny.
They named a town in Alabama after my city, so there is a Brom in the New World, too.

Get the Birmingham mug.North West Birmingham has recently become a big thing due to millionz (rapper) from Birmingham.
The North West of the city is definitely the more "Gang Affected" side of town, areas such as Aston, Perry Barr, Handsworth, Handsworth Wood, Winson Green, are largely gang affiliated areas (Burger Bar & Johnson Crew) other areas such as Smethwick & West Bromwich border the North West Birmingham border, but come under the Sandwell Borough but are still locally classed as North West Birmingham due to short distance. Other Areas people may get confused with North West are Newtown, Lozells, Hockley & Ladywood due to short distance also but they are in fact classed as Innercity (Central) never the less all those areas mentioned a compact with each other.
Sandwell which is also not part of the city but a borough built up of individual towns, Smethwick, West Bromwich, Oldbury, Rowley Regis & Tipton, is considered the Black Country along with Walsall, Dudley & Wolverhampton. But due to postcode, area code & short distance from the city centre, Smethwick & West Bromwich are practically Birmingham & closer to the City Centre than the majority of area in Birmingham. Smethwick which lies 2 miles from the Centre of Birmingham on the North West Side, was to be a part of the city but left out by one single vote twice due to the crime in the area during the 60s & 90s.
