Yeah, the Midlands doesn't really have any.
Since it's only a region in the same way as Belgium's a country. Made up of bits nobody else wants.

It's a horrifically pointless place, isn't it?
Sometimes I imagine what it'd be like to be from somewhere awful like Coventry and by the time I've stopped thinking about it I realise I've been subconsciously cutting my wrists without realising.

I went to see Forest play in Coventry once. Thank fuck we won.

It only exists because they needed somewhere to put
all the post industrial hell so it didn't interfere with the nice touristy areas of the country.

That's quite imaginative but fundamentally untrue
Given that the Midlands includes Birmingham, whilst a shithole nonetheless a very populous and rich shithole, as well as Nottingham which is still one of the UK's most profitable cities via the medium of tourism (thank you Kevin Costner) and a fascinating example of what would happen if none of us had bothered to crawl out of the primoridal slime and evolve, in the form of the whole of Derbyshire.

Are you suggesting that the rest of the country wants Birmingham?
Because I can guarantee that it's not true.

God no
Just its retail industry. If I lived in Birmingham I'd spunk all my money on tat as well

So, to summarise
the Midlands isn't just made up of the bits nobody wants because of the vibrant commercial industry, which you freely admit only exists because the beetle-browed, knuckled-dragging inhabitants have to distract themselves from their awful existence by buying things.

Excellent counter-argument there, Foxo.
