Round Trips

You might think you're being funny, but actually you're not.

It's 'Sutton Coldfield' not 'Slutton', and its the 5, not the 451.

Consider yourself 'yellow-carded' - any more of this and you'll be taking a holiday from the forum.

Sorry. Will call it Sutton now. I don't see a problem calling the 5, the 451 still. I call it the 451 still as I confuse myself with the AG 5.
Ive never considered myself funny. But thanks for complimenting me that I am!

That is your opinion, which you are entitled to make even if I disagree, I am actually opposed to political correctness in all forms. All we are asking here is for people to be sensible and respectful of others when they post on this forum.

Don't worry, I live on the route most days, many people round The Myvod still call it the 311 and 313!
