It doesn't have to. I've joined both but without the subdivisions people 
can't be selective if they want somewhere they can crawl home from.

I've just noticed that Digbeth Sanctuary has become a Barfly. I'd say 
The Sunflower Lounge is the place to be for you young folks to be 
tomorrow night though.

I thought the definition you posted said "a city with an airport". 
That's the metropolis of Wolves surely? Birmingham is currently the most 
active metro in the UK so it can afford to be trimmed down a bit. I 
think 'The Black Country' with Wolverhampton as its capital would have 
been the best solution for this area but as things stand - is Dudley 
closer to Brum or Wolves? Does anything ever happen there (apart from 
Mo's Linux exhibition in the library?)
