Never been there myself (aside from on the M6) but might have to make a trip one of these days.

Even the Balti Triangle is mentioned. Hope this is comment enough to avoid grinding anyone's gears :)

Can't say I agree about the accent
I'm so happy that noone in Canada recognizes it
But I have held this opinion for years that Birmingham is a far superior city !

Re: Brummieland
 

Do you like or dislike the accent?
Are you agreeing that Birmingham is superior to London?

Re: Brummieland
 

Hate the accent ( and the connotations that go with it) and I'm allowed to say that!
And Birmingham is a far better city than London

Now I want a curry for tea and I know HID has some sort of naff Halloween thing in mind. :(

Re: Brummieland
 

I'd murder for a proper balti

Re: Brummieland
 

Haweli's in Bearwood was THE place for a curry. nom nom nom
I loved living in Birmingham, would happily live there again if I wasn't living the high life in Coquitlam!

Re: Brummieland
 

Dislike the accent, like the city.

Re: Brummieland
 

Cmon now Birmingham better than London?..from my experience of both cities London is streets ahead of Birmingham...i would put Liverpool and Glasgow ahead of Brummieland

I have still got the single!

Re: Brummieland
 

The Birmingham accent isn't as strong, but still one of the better videos on Youtube:

Re: Brummieland
 

black country accent is not same as Birmingham accent

Re: Brummieland
 

Which is what I said. Still there are plenty of people with the black country accent who live in Birmingham.

Re: Brummieland
 

I'm sorry I actually didn't see that you'd wrote that
It's one of my pet peeves, people mixing the two up !

Re: Brummieland
 

The Black Country Museum is quite good.

Although the Saddam Hussein mosque has lost its charm since they changed the name.

Re: Brummieland
 

So are Yam Yams Brummies or Black Country ?

Re: Brummieland
 

Somehow I quite enjoy the Brummie accent too. Found this on YT...good lads...

Re: Brummieland
 

Well there are all kinds of variations, black country isn't just an accent, it's a dialect, Birmingham accent is significantly milder. But there's also for example the Walsall accent which is somewhere inbetween.

Re: Brummieland
 

Y'am is sort of inbetween Brummie and black country, yow is black country.

You am owright am ya?

"Spake" is black country, "spik" is more brummie. I.e. learning im ta spik brummie. Learnin im ta spake black country.
