Right, I see...

West Bromwich means West Birmingham, derived from historical local names for the city such as Brummagem, Bromwicham and so on. If you look at a map it is to the west of the city centre. There are loads of places in Birmingham with names like that. Castle Bromwich, Bromsgrove, Bromford etc.
They don't really like it when you say this. As well as Smethwick.

Local knowledge, huh?
