Ah, Coventry. The city so gloriously overlooked that even Google Maps sometimes sighs before loading it. Two minutes in and youāve probably seen all the highlights: a roundabout, a Greggs, and someone in a tracksuit passionately yelling at a pigeon.
Coventry once tried to rebrand itself as the “City of Culture.” And honestly, fair playāit takes real cultural innovation to turn post-war concrete into a design statement. That ring road? A dizzying adventure in existential dread. Blink and you’ve missed your exit. Blink twice and you’re somehow back in 1997.
Letās not forget the football. Coventry City FC fans have mastered the noble art of hoping against all oddsātrue philosophers of the pitch. Every match is less about the score and more about spiritual resilience. And the Ricoh Arena? A great place to go if you’re into eerily quiet echo chambers with the occasional hot dog stand.
Yet, despite all this, Coventry endures. Itās the place Britain lovingly forgets, then remembers when it’s too late to turn around. So hereās to you, Coventryāforever standing, forever slightly underwhelming, and somehow, inexplicably, proud.
Now, letās all take a moment⦠and have a good-natured chuckle. Youāve earned it.
