What does a statue of a web service look like? 🤔

Does Stoke have good pubs nearby?

the effigy underscores the West Midlands’ rock heritage

Would Stoke be happy being associated with the West Midlands?

I always had them down as North Midlands and associating as closely with Manchester as they do Birmingham, which is only a "very slightly" for both

West Midlands? Stoke's the door to the North!
