If Birmingham is as 'cultural' as these answers imply, then why have Brummies got the worse accent in the world, bar none??
Don't the Brummies attend these 'cultural' events? if they do how do they understand them??

It isn't. I'm from Manchester and until not long ago the Symphony Hall there was the best classical music concert hall close to us. The magnificent Central Library is also brilliant.

You have obviously never been to Birmingham. Either that, or you have a very strange idea of what culture is.

You have a lovely collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings. However I couldn't find anything interesting to for an evening out when I visited in late February.
