In terms of having the “marrying cousins” stereotype.

    Outside of UK, Coventry is mainly known for the bombing, is there some connection to its current bad state?

      OH god, in Coventry it’s all they talk about. But a tentative yes. It was flattened in WW2, but didn’t have the clout of London so it was rebuilt as the utter hell hole it is now. However, there was still a lot of industry there (mostly cars) until the Thatcher era. And then that went away as well. Now there’s two unis and that’s about it
