Jasper has been great supporter of the charity for many years and was recently appointed a life vice president. He said: “If I am still alive by May 2nd, it will be my pleasure to entertain many close friends from the world of journalism and entertainment. “Nothing is planned so nothing can go wrong? I am so looking forward to it I have bought a new bib and a pair of socks. Come and join me, I would dearly love to see you all. “ Derek Inman, chairman of the charity’s Midlands District, said: “Jasper at 80 – what a milestone. He is a true legend, One of the funniest comics the region has ever produced. It is a real honour that he has chosen to celebrate this special occasion with us.” Jasper, described by Jeremy Clarkson as “easily the funniest stand-up I’ve ever seen”, has enjoyed a career spanning five decades which reads like a history of comedy classics. Among his many accolades are BBC TV Personality of the Year, a Gold Medal at the New York TV and Film Awards, Midlander of the Year Award, his own ‘Star’ on Birmingham’s Walk of Stars and the British Comedy Awards Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. In recognition of his outstanding work for charity, Jasper was awarded an OBE in Her Majesty’s New Year’s Honours List in 2003. Robert Norman Davis was born in Shaftmoor Lane, Acocks Green, in Birmingham, and educated at Acocks Green Primary School and Moseley Grammar School. He worked as a trainee buyer at a city centre department store, with schoolmate Bev Bevan, who didn’t do badly for himself either, the musician featuring in the Move, Electric Light Orchestra and Black Sabbath. Acquiring the nickname Jasper aged nine, the aspiring entertainer added Carrott when he was 17, a stage name that has done him proud, supporting an ever-burgeoning talent that has seen him perform to packed audiences worldwide. Other eclectic works have included hit single Funky Moped and being part-owner of the production company Celador, makers of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, until selling out some years ago. He and his wife Hazel, a former journalist herself, have four children and a home in the Warwickshire countryside.

National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham

We made a dedicated trip and had a lovely few hours. There was lots to see with split levels that kept your interest. The penguins were nice, the octopus made an appearance and we would have loved to see more of the otters., we see the otters.. There is plenty to see, read and touch. My grand daughter loved it all, the turtle in the tunnel is beautiful . It was clean, and we had a great time, would definitely go back, staff were helpful,its really nice and deserve to be visited again and again.

For a smaller town the Art Museum as great. We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend it if you are traveling to Birmingham. Make sure to call ahead to see if they are open.

Victoria Square, Birmingham

放飞自我去游玩

After we dropped off our luggage at the hotel, we had a big meal at a Michelin one-star restaurant, and then we began to get to know the city. First we came to Victoria Square, where a building imitating a Greek temple caught our eye. It turned out to be their town hall. Next to it was a beautiful Baroque building, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which was also free to visit. So we went in for a stroll. There were not many people, and the exhibits were quite rich, ranging from ancient Egypt to current art.

There are Chinese Super League, restaurants, and many other specialty restaurants to choose from. It is not difficult to find what you want to eat here. But this time I chose this restaurant, the food was a bit disappointing.
