Quite true. Wyrley common used to be absolutely horrendous but now at least two of the burnt out cars have disintegrated into barely visible pools of rust. Some of the fly tipping is also composting down nicely too. :)

It would take a natural event of epic proportions to elevate it out of its Old Kent Road status.

I agree Wyrley is pretty naff but Cotwall end is also horrendous, its the only area where I've ever felt intimidated but non O people whilst out on my course. Was probably the fastest I'd run as well :!:

yes, that's what you think... but read the reviews it gets on Amazon. Basically it is a cheap rip off imitation of monoploy, with no houses/hotels, and everything is similar, but different enough for them not to get sued

Have the cheap places as easy areas> SE!! as you get more expensive move north to like Cannock Chase as a set and then end up with Mayfair as somewhere like Trossachs or Insriach
