Going Back to the 'Ham

Several years ago I was on a flight to Birmingham, when a somewhat inebriated man came on the plane and announced to all and sundry that he was "going back to the 'Ham". I never found out why he was so jubilant about heading to the "'Ham", which became especially difficult when he was removed from the plane for disruptive behaviour shortly afterwards. Nonetheless, this is not really his story, although I've never forgotten the phrase - and now I can use it myself.

We found out a couple of days ago that we will be going back to the 'Ham. We are all glad to have our final destination sorted, and so now begins paperwork and logistics, and other boring things. And to everyone in the 'Ham - see you soon!
