Someone tell those damn yanks that the h in birmingham is silent.

Damn straight! Birmingham, Alabama and Birmingham, UK are not the same, just like Concord (pronounced “conquered”), NC and Concord (“con-chord”), Massachusetts.

Local pronunciation always!

I liked that go-karting track, never realised it had fallen into such a bad way and been closed. And also slightly jealous of the plans, the potential has been there for a while but there are running before walking a little here.

they had a death of a Marshall there at a stock car race, and either the council wouldn’t/ couldn’t afford to upgrade the track or safety, or the company couldn’t secure loans to do it, that’s what closed it
