Birmingham Snow Hill?

 

[DaleCooper]

Birmingham Snow Hill?

I'd love to know how you came up with Birmingham Snow Hill, unfortunately it's not the answer.

By 'eck, thee and me don't seem to have much luck with "partridge" stuff ! My "Brum S.H." suggestion was admittedly a bit mad. Among the world's many species of partridge: there's a "snow partridge", and a "hill partridge". In chemistry-type lore, there's a link between potassium, and alum. There's a district of Birmingham called Alum Rock -- altogether, clutching at straws, I don't dispute.

Getting from potassium to Alum Rock to (the whole of) Birmingham is certainly not something I could do. I'm not sure I'd want to either. I started by thinking that potassium was K but I haven't got further than that.

Always a good place to start.

When did they move Derby to Scotland, is it something to do with Brexit?
