I`m pleased to say I attended this morning and I must say a big well done to our commercial department and the sponsors and everyone who spoke there today.
It was all so positive about our great city, the future (especially for you young ones) is phenomenal!
Birmingham is the epicenter for property investment in UK and sixth best in Europe!
The only thing that lets us down is our shit football club, that binds us all together in anguish!
Here endeth the lesson

Des, the problem with Brum is it's lack of marketing. It just never seems to promote itself. I think I have done more marketing for the city than the council has - I introduced my wife to Brum for shopping, she now takes the 50 mile journey with friends from time to time. Her friends have in turn told others who do the same.

I am surprised by us being the centre for property investments in the UK. I say this because my youngest is at Manchester University and the last time we went I counted 23 cranes as I approached the city - it is often said cranes are an indicator of an area's economy and it's property investment.

As for the football clubs, well that's where Manchester excels and it has been given tourism on a plate. The hotel prices increase significantly when Man U have a weekend game due to the overseas tourist fans. I dare say Citeh will be contributing soon if not already. Yes Blues and Villa are hardly appetising.
