Why, have you seen it in print? Well, given the amount of time it took to write this it would only be fair to invoice them for a couple of quid.

Every time it does Birmingham it gets<br/>something wildly and hopelessly wrong. Recently, for example, it<br/>suggested going for a swim at Moseley Road Baths. Not a bad plan I<br/>grant you, I do it myself at least twice a week. However it described<br/>the wonders of swimming in the main gala pool, which sadly has been<br/>closed these last two years.<br/><br/>I could only account for it by assuming these pieces were being written<br/>by a bloke in London with a cup of tea in one hand and an outdated guide<br/>book in the other. Must be one of the classier airlines if they get<br/>people who actually live in the destination in question. Blogger hates Jez so he emailed me his comment:
