The Ugliest Place in the Universe

Smethwick Rofle St Station.
Near Birmingham, UK.
Situated between Birmingham and Wolverhampton this canyon of soot ridden brick, bestrune with Graffitti, has to be experienced.
Micheal Palin would not include the Birmingham to Wolverhampton Line as one of the Great Railway Journeys of the world.
The council created the "Greenline Project" in the early eighties to improve the scenary. Millions of pounds were spent, in vain, on trackside improvement. One of the most pathetic aspects of the expenditure are the half dozen black horses cast in 2D steel alongside the track. Naturally they have been tagged themselves as have most things alongside the track, walls, signals, burnt cars, dead grannies etc.

The story so far:-
I order a hifi from Granada.
They say they they will ring me a day before it arrives.
1 week wait.
I receive a 'we called and you were out letter on my return from work'
will deliver tommorrow. Call before 7 if this is not what you want.
(I returned from work at 8.)
Today I ask them to send it to a Friend's house tommorrow.
They tell me that she has to wait in all day as they cannot guarente
delivery times.
