A 1-mile section of the A38 Aston Expressway is to be converted into a paved park for International Car Free Day on September 22.
The lunatics have finally taken over the asylum.

A good day to stay indoors.

I avoid going into the centre of Birmingham so it won't affect me.
I can imagine the chaos it will cause on the M6 around Spaghetti Junction though.

When I go into Birmingham, its usually with half a dozen servers in the boot. I can hardly get them on public transport.
Although I've all but closed our presence in there, just a lone server left, thats coming out the end of this month :)... ...though a rumour is they want to build a new node there <facepalm>

When I had to go to Birmingham I just tried to drive straight past on the M5/M6 or M42, where usually I met traffic jams! ::) ::) :D ;)
Only really stopped for the NEC! :P

It's actually in honour of my Birthday 8)
Depending on how the pub goes the day before, I will be there with a selection of baggage and snow clearing equipment :D
The snow cutter should prove particularly entertaining :-X

Drive the D10 to work day :-\

Yep. Looks perfect for hoovering up soap-dodgers. ;D

The recent Velo cycle thing which was held on a Sunday and closed the A45 and many other routes was fun too :o

Because the other option they give me is Londonium. And that is a shithole of the highest order, being dirty, smelly, and full or arrogant arseholes. I pretty much dislike central brum, but nowhere near as much as I detest London from the A406 inwards.

It won't affect me, I'll be away on my holidays. ;)

Good news, they've postponed the congestion charge :y
Now all they need to do is get rid of the bus and cycle lanes, and the traffic will flow smoothly, easing the pollution.

My son, lives in Harbourne, with his fiancee and has just been offered a job at PWC in Central Brum. He says he'll cycle to the office.
I like Birmingham, always have. Ever since I was a student in Coventry and the woman who is my wife was a Student nurse in Brum.

Congratulations to your son! PWC are a great business to work for and everyone I've met at the Birmingham office has been extremely nice. I qualified across the road at KPMG Brum in 2009-11 and still go regularly to both PWC and EY as they do lots of work for our team.
The transformation to the centre of Brum, just in the decade or so I've been going there has been remarkable. I rate the city centre very highly both as a place to work and to go out in.
It's just a shame that some of the areas a bit further out are so deprived (NOT Harbourne I hasten to add, that area is lovely!).

Obviously he has been working from home of late but before lockdown, he said there is an empathy with the cyclists and he arrives for work at the bike racks at the same time as one of the "partners". Not like John Lewis Partners, these boys earn the hourly minimum wage every minute (probably). has had a couple of interesting conversations in the lift.

On ITV player, there's a great mini series called Zomboat.
It's hilarious and sums up Birmingham well. The Characters are very real.

A bit further North but still very true to life.
