Smitch · September 2003

Sorry everyone for putting this up, I know it has absolutely jack to do with r*nning, but I was wondering if anyone knows about Tamworth, what it's like etc etc?

I am tentatively looking at a job there, so would appreciate any helpful info...

(and no sarchy comments from you, FR, please)

It's near enough to Birmingham to be OK, Smitch. It's a nice enough town but nothing special.

I'd be telling great big fibs if I said the area was scenic.

All I know about it, like V-Rap, is that its near Birmingham. And I hate Birmingham because they pinched our manager. Does that help?

my partner is a tamworth pig,i met her on a night on the town with a mate who is also from tamworth, a good night out, has an indoor ski run, plenty of canals to run along, though not many hills unless you get out into the surrounding countryside.

Mostly harmless.
Close to Brum ...

Nice enough place. Got a 'Snowdome' (indoor real snow slope). Fairly pleasant cycling area and not very far from Peak district. Great motorcycling roads!!!!!! Awesome motorcycling roads actually.

Snowdome (once hosted a thrilling episode of Brum), home of the Tamworth two, mentioned daily on the Radio 5 traffic bulletins, got a services with a crap Burger King, not far from the home of the Staffordshire Regiment, usually sunny, non hostile environment, just far enough away from Brum (the city, not the car),

I saw them play in an FA Vase Final replay against Sudbury Town at Peterborough United's ground in about 1990. Can't remember the score.

Apart from that - nowt.

Brooks the beast · September 2003

All I know about Tamworth is that they have Pigs.

Ah somebody mentioned that ! Well in a similar vein my wife is a Bedlington Terrier.

Bedlington also appeared in an FA vase final a couple of years ago. Their chant was 'woof woof Terriers' ! What is the Tamworth chant, 'oink, oink save our bacon ' ?

That'll be a bit of a commute to college. Google seems to offer only small businesses and accommodation in the area.

Probably near Alton Towers though so we can always come and visit!

Smitch, I have some friends who live near Tamworth in a place called Dost Hill, not much happens there though, althouh "The Fox" usually has some great guest ales and home cooking! All I'll say about Tamworth is, I wouldn't want to live there.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

I also know people from Dost Hill, they are very nice.
Went to one of the clubs in Tamworth it was OK (though I was a bit drunk)

XFR Bear · September 2003

From Alton to Alton Towers!!

Gavo · September 2003

My thoughts exactly Fruity - not that I know owt else about Staffordshire apart from the need to avoid Stoke.

Gavo · September 2003

And before I forget, if it's anywhere near a town called Wombourne (Staffs) then avoid it like the plague.

And try finding a decent Curry in Tamworth. It maybe 20 miles from the curry capital of the world, but you wouldn't believe it. They can hardly spell the word there!

Howdy, Stranger!
