The Black Country Museum is quite good.

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

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.

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 :)

Thanks :thumbsup:
