Tory MEPs confused Birmingham, Alabama for Birmingham, England and put up a picture of the former on their website confusing web browsers in the process.

According to the Daily Mirror, web browser were shocked to see skyscrapers instead of what they were expecting - the Bullring and Spaghetti Junction.

With the mix-up Labour MP Tom Watson criticized the MEP saying, "These MEPs are obviously spending so long in Brussels they've forgotten what Britain's second city looks like."

"If they can spare the time to come back I would gladly give them a tour to remind them of the place. If they are lucky they may even get to meet a Tory voter," he added.

The error on the website of Philip Bradbourn, Malcolm Harbour and Philip Bushell-Matthews, however, has now been corrected.

"Mistakes happen. Our web designer got his Birminghams mixed up," a spokesperson for the MEPs said.
