Well, luv, me accent ain't makin' ya feel queasy 'cause it's just a bit o' Brummie charm, innit? Ain't no need for it to be like chewin' on a rotten egg. It's all about findin' the right balance, keepin' it smooth like butter on a warm crumpet, ya see?

If you're wondering what the accent sounds like, watch Peaky Blinders. Specifically, Finn Shelby since the actor is actually from Birmingham.

That was one thing that always kinda bugged me about that show. How do a bunch of siblings who all grew up in the same place all have different regional accents?!

Still an amazing show though.

Is Peaky Blinders worth watching? I don't know much about it, other than it's quite popular.

I had a mate from Dudley who reckoned his accent was the least romantic in thr UK. Exhibit A: Oi lav yow.

My high school history teacher was from Dudley, he'd always insist that buffet should be pronounced phonetically.

I can definitely hear that in my head!

Us West Midlanders get a lot shit for our accent and it's time we stop standing for it. -ing words are pronounced with a hard-G, it's everyone else that's wrong.

The Brummie accent is so slow you almost fall asleep listening to its dribble
