I hate it. It makes me sound like a droning thicko and I'm not !

Well, not a thicko. I'm definitely a droner. Blush

I got complimented on my accent by a Dutch lady when I was on holiday this year. She said it sounded sing-song.

I guess to people not from this country that don't associate Brummie with thick, it sounds different!

My best mate is from Brum. She's always threatening 'to take me up the Poolway and batter me'. I just nod and smile

Oh yay! Well I am a Brummie girl born n bred.... In fact I live very near you ThePathan bab.

Brummies you will get this....non Brummies you will no doubt be scratching your head: saw a van the other day for a loft conversion company. Van had a Black Country address. The name of the company was.....

....wait for it.....

'You'm 'avin a Loff!' Genius.

I used to hate my accent but I love it now. And I am proud. Brum is massively underrated and we have loads to be proud of...beautiful parks, galleries, vibrant exciting communities, near some stunning countryside and some lovely people. And if others in the UK don't see it well, fook em the fookers

It's got to be Moseley, every time! My home area of Birmingham. Although if we went back I think we might go for Kings Heath, fast becoming funkier than Moseley, and you get more house for your money. What do you think, Witch?

It's a really sexy accent

People love it!

Aright bab, We are a soft spoken brummie household though my dds propensity to say 'like' in every sentence is. Bit challenging

Tarar a bit luv.

Prices around the moseley triangle are stuoidly expensive blue.Kings Heath is great if you buy on a good road, the high st isn,t what is once was.
