		<description>Birmingham cursed?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I should say not.  Ok - so it isn&#039;t London, who hate us because we&#039;re part of the largest county in Britain.  It&#039;s probably one of the most down to earth city&#039;s in this country - with a population that is very proud of it&#039;s heritage.  Hell, at one time we were once the workshop of most of the known world - now that is something that London cannot claim - and they know it.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We may be disregarded by the rest of the country as a non-entity, and a bit of a joke, but we are this country&#039;s 2nd city:  something that we should claim back, somehow.  Because this area has got just as much character as anywhere in the UK.</description>
