Where is Kidderminster

[Caribeing]

Watching Coach Trip two Public School educated contestants didn't know where Kidderminster or Herne bay was obviously geography isn't on their cirriculum.

are you from Wolverhamton Mighty?

That reminds me of a few years back when I worked in HR and a young colleague was getting married and going on honeymoon to Tenerife. We have a policy that you have to inform HR if travelling to certain countries 'on the list'. His friends persuaded me to write a formal letter advising him that as Tenerife was a communist country he had to let us know. I thought it too ridiculous a joke that no-one would fall for but he actually took it in all seriousness. Unbelievable.

I'll ignore that remark Mr Beejay I'd have trouble typing with a cloven hoof.

so MaryT - Im guessing you can pinpoint every city and town on a map of the British Isles

I bet they could spell Curriculum though...obviously spelling wasn't on yours

I'm not mary, jack, but I've got a pretty good idea where most of them are - the general region, if not exactly.

There was a young lady from Gloucester (pronounced Gloster)
Whose parents thought they had lost her
What they found in the grass
Were the marks of her a*se
And the knees of the bloke who had crossed her.

I went Kidderminster once. It was open.

I grew up not that far from Kidderminster so knew that but wouldn't have known where Herne Bay was. I remember being asked, when living in Leeds and mentioning getting the train back home to Shrewsbury being frequently asked if I had to go via London.

I don't expect people to know where it is though. I was surprised though when I wasi n California that people there had heard of Shropshire, the most common reply to saying where I'm from I got though was randomly about sheep!

A random one was in a Starbucks in Toronto. The nice guy serving me asked if he could try and guess where I was from from my accent and guessed West Midlands. I was so impressed considering I've not lived there for about 15 years and lived in a number of other places with far stronger accents and never had a strong accent anyway!

LOL at bejay accusing WBA of being a Dingle.
