It's more like the USSR than modern Russia. It has that distinctive bleak, austere landscape of 1970s communism. The sort of depression that leads to the creation of Black Sabbath 


Birmingham's a fantastic city, but the locals like to keep the rest of us thinking it's still a dystopian soviet hellscape to stop people moving there from London and ruining it 🙂

So returning to Birmingham for a mo, is the old Spaghetti Junction still a thing?  Or has it collapsed or been re-jigged into something even more mad? 


It's still there, and seems to get more bonkers every time you drive through it.

It's been privatised and is now more of a vermicelli diversion, at least until you turn off for the A38, where it becomes a fusilli sets of roadworks and a rail-replacement G&L bus service to Gloucester Road in Briz.
