Mrs MM hails from that area.

Fortunately her family moved before she had a chance to adopt the "twang". Some of here family are unintelligible to the untrained ear.

What were you saying?

You think that's funny, you should hear what they talk like in that London.

Just realized that I know not one Brummie. I am thankful for it, though.

I can't think of the Brummie accent without thinking of Barry from Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

This is because you do not know the difference between a Brummie and Black Country accent.... Barry's was also a bit of a hybrid - poetic licence.

There is one other quite funny one from that site:

But the rest are unfortunately very childish, and probably best not viewed in a work environment. Just to save anyone searching through them.
