Birmingham: It's Not Shit loves Birmingham and has loads of news and features. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed.
Quite a few people had a go at this fairly easy quiz-type thing, all the answers were and are areas in and around our fine city. In the end there was more than one entry that matched the answers we reckoned were right. So, drumroll please, the winner was Kirsty Walker from Solihull - who chose a green Brum’s Not Shit T-Shirt out of our shop. In joint second place were Ken Foden, Steve Thorne, Adrian Neale, Leigh Pipkin, Coleman Doyle, Emma Barton, Rebecca Myatt and Suise Humphreys who win lashings of Kudos but no actual physical prizes.
So, well done everyone, and for those that are still interested, the answers were….

| 1. A monarch, not sitting | Kingstanding |
| 2. Girl’s name | Shirley |
| 3. One of five, heavyweight | Quinton |
| 4. Leader of the Blackshirts | Moseley |
| 5. On the roof and angry | Tile Cross |
