00:00I don't know, I've spent around one year in Birmingham.
00:05I think it doesn't have as many good places as other areas in the UK,
00:13like London, maybe Leeds or Manchester. I've been there.
00:17I think maybe Selfridges is nice.
00:19You could go to Fumo upstairs, the Italian restaurant.
00:24Somewhere near the Black Sabbath Bridge or whatever that's called.
00:31I think it's nice there, near the lake or...
00:36The canals.
00:37Canals, yeah. That's it, yeah.
00:39Pretty cafe in Birmingham. There's loads of cats.
00:42Cafe. Yeah, I think that's good.
00:45Yeah?
00:46Yeah.
00:47And a go.
00:48Where else potentially would you go for perhaps a first date?
00:52A first date, um...
00:56Whet the spoons.
00:57Yeah, we whet the spoons, yeah.
00:59So I don't know the city that well, I only work here and live outside of the city,
01:02but I'd probably go to somewhere like Arell for drinks
01:06and then maybe Six by Nico for dinner.
01:09They're probably the places I'd like to go.
01:11I would suggest Marker Pier White.
01:14It's a very nice, elegant restaurant.
01:16The food is amazing, they melt in your mouth.
01:18Reasonable for the price as well.
01:20And they can bond.
01:21It's a very beautiful view looking over the city.
01:24I recommend that very much.
01:26Yeah, I'd say the Mailbox area, Brindley Palace.
01:30They've got a load of different bars, restaurants.
01:32Nice scenic area as well.
01:34Yeah, oh, well we like two places actually.
01:38There's Bacchus in the Burlington Hotel
01:41and the Marker Pier White in the Cube on the top floor
01:44because the views are spectacular.
01:47Would you consider Birmingham a romantic city?
01:51What do you think its reputation is to outsiders with regards to that?
01:55Probably not romantic, but seek and you will find.
