Bits of Britain
John Dale is a “trade plate driver, collecting and delivering vehicles around the UK” but is based in Birmingham. His blog is a collection of his travel writing. In his email he adds “I’ve previously had writing published in the Moseley based magazine Birmingham 13 and in Raw Edge. I’ve also had stories short-listed for the Fish International Short Story Prize and the Writers’ Forum monthly fiction prize”
