    This is an article about the regional dialect in England centered around the industrial city of Birmingham (Brumijem to the locals) and not about our own Brummie poster. (That's not to say he isn't beautiful in his own way.)

    The Midland accent, often mocked and usually a 'Black-country" accent as opposed to true Brummie (can you say Dudd-lay) is looked down upon by many native Brits. I once met a radio DJ at the Minnesota state fair who spent some time in the Midlands of England. He could do a really good Brummie accent. Far better than me and I used to live in the region.

    I agree. :)

    I am born & bred black country ( Called such after a queen of England commented on the soil being very dark). I have the accent too. But dont tell anyone, K?

    I remember my very first meeting with a potential customer who hailed from Birmingham. He said to me:

    "Yo talks like a pufftah!"

    Then a girl I tickled:

    "Will yow stop eet!"

    Then a lady who sympathised with my lack of business:

    "See, even yome feelin da peench!"
