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 !

Shard

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

Zoe Bell

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.

I'd murder for a proper balti

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!

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

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

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