When people talk about the Brummie accent its often really the Black Country accent they imitate; the later is stronger.

Everybody has a regional accent, unless they are adhering to a fabricated way of speaking which was nothing more than an invention. The Queen's English a special dialect which had to be spoken in front of Elizabeth I.

Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostWhen I first left uni I went for a series of job interviews at Schroeders (sp!)

Surely that could have been determined on day 1.
I caught a glimpse of it on the recent Prescott North-South Divide programme with Brian Sewell wondering how anyone with a regional accent could cope with reading and writing. He also thought that much of the industrial North should be razed.
To put it politely, I thought he was completely out of touch with reality.
