I remember all those places.

They sound funny now, but when I lived in Brum, many years ago, names like that sounded OK :-)

Don't forget Lickey Hills and fancy having a S't Andrews in the middle of Birmingham, pity the quality of football doesn't match up to the quality of the golf played in the real S't Andrews.

I didn't use the ring road one time and finished up heading to Worcester instead of Nottingham. Redditch is so difficult if you don't live there, wether you are on the ring road or not :-).
