    Most exciting thread title ever, right? And yet here you are. But check this out.

    American chap signed up to a bike race in what he thought was Birmingham, Alabama; turned out to be Birmingham, England. With really quite awesome consequences.

    If you’re going to go Latin, at least get it right! “Mea culpa”.

    😉

    I do like this story, though. A lovely sense of, “Aww, heck! Why not? Let’s do it!”

    Nice story.

    Reminds me of the one from earlier in the year about the couple who booked a holiday, found cheap flights from Brum to somewhere like Florida. Really cheap flights.

    Turned up at the airport to be told that they’d booked flights from Birmingham, Alabama, and not from the jewel of the midlands*.

    *not a real epithet.

    Indeed. I knew that, I just wasn’t paying attention.

    Anything else I got wrong or are you done? (-:

    Sounds like a character from “Hitchhiker’s Guide”.

    I’d have thought paying the entry fee in Sterling might have been a slight give-away…

    Err no. He’s coming back again, that’s it.
