I'm currently living in Smethwick which is just to the west of Birmingham. It has a largely asian population with a large proprtion of then originating in the Punjab.

Even though I know this, I was still convinced that some wag had been at the border sign with a magic marker the first time I read "Welcome to Smethwick.....Twinned with Amritsar". It is however official.

 

About the only thing that the two towns have in common is the ethnicity of their majority population - 's funny though.

What is the purpose of this "Twinning"? Just free international trips for councillors? :unsure:

I think it's supposed to foster international understanding and friendship, or reinforce ingrained sterotypes, or something....

:huh:

Southampton and Le Havre. A match made in heaven, or at least two ugly sisters. :-)

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.
