    My wife on her second speed awareness course said to a guy sitting near her, “ this course isn’t as good as my first one” he looked astounded. She has her third one in February.

      My assumption is that it's a sort of driving test for people who get ticketed frequently not a training course for people working for the secret service lol. Sounds a bit either way really

It is like Rugby union when England and Wales play each other. We will insult each other and be quite horrible to each other, but at the end of the day, it is all really just banter :)

      Queen Victoria gave it that nickname because the skies were black from all of the soot from the factories. Back in the Industrial Revolution and the following few decades, the West Midlands dominated the metalwork industry. Just a little bit of history for you. Basically, it's called that because it was a shithole. Now the skies are grey, but not much else has improved.
