    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.

    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.
