Speaking as a Brit I would say it was no where near. But my idea of no where near may be different to yours. I think they are about 150 miles apart. So driving on our roads that would take the best part of 3 hours.
What tends to happen here is that administrative districts tend to merge and whole new names emerge!
I'm quite pleased that Julie Walters also comes from Warley. She is a really talented actress who can do comedy and serious stuff as well. She is famous in the UK for playing the part of Mrs Overall in a spoof soap opera called Acorn Antiques. (Don't ask)
I hope you're paying attention to this because I may ask questions later!
