3 hours in Birmingham city centre - what to do

[Hellsbells]

Ok so my boyfriend & I have 3 hrs before our train leaves. We've eaten, drank, been to the ikon gallery, the library, museum & art gallery, bull ring, Selfridges & the custard factory. What should we do for the next few hours? Bearing in mind we've walked alot today & are quite tired.

Sit on pidgeon park and watch the alternative and emo kids gather in the masses as a haven from the outer city ghetto life they struggle to fit into?

get a four-pack of stella or similar and sit on the station waiting for the train.

Go to the waterstones on new st before they turn it into an apple store and buy a book. It's a lovely building.

Go back to Selfridges and steal something. That's what I usually do anyway.

Get a tram to Wolverhampton and back.

 

[The Boy]

Get a tram to Wolverhampton and back.

This is the best idea so far. You should do this, Hellsbells

Hellsbells - so what did you do, in the end ? and did you catch the onward train OK.

 

[Hellsbells]

ahh tram would have been a good idea. Unfortunately I only had wi-fi access til 5pm so didn't see any posts after that.
We went to Waterstones in the end & then spent some time in 'Grand central' station.
Birmingham is so cool now - it was such a contrast coming back into London Euston.
The library is amazing

I was saying that the other day after doing the reverse journey. Euston looks so tired now in comparison. It's about time!

There's an offy right outside Moor Street. Also a Tesco round the corner, by the Travelodge.

Handy bench there too, but quite often taken.

Does your boyfrired still think Birmingham is 'crap' or has he now seen the light?

[adidaswoody]

They don't gather on weeknights any more?
