Well don't I look silly now
You know how spell check can make us look like fools sometimes and change the meaning of what we are trying to say into something completely absurd or inappropriate?
Well I just thought....Black Country sounded racially insensitive without the background and explanation of the **** for someone in North America who has never heard the name before.
In any case, thanks for clearing that up,
