Ron's right.....the quake centred on Lower Gornal just outside Dudley......about 1 mile as the crow flys from my home which is NOT in Brum...dispite what the cretins on here call me!
Earlier i had an email from a mate who is deaf.....he said he thought it was his vibrating alarm clock!!!!made me chuckle!!
Oh Paul, Black Puddings by the way, I am reliably informed, were brought over by the Germanic Tribes, Apparently? and not made by the Brummies, just though I'd clear that little pointer up Mate!
As far as I know the first black pudding were made by the Germans. They have a fantastic range of sausages under the name "Bloedwurst". Very tasty they are indeed.
