# Okay, my mistake.
It's still there. I heard it was going.

That is the Rotunda in the background isn't it?

# I don't know if
I can agree with that! Brummies are still the most mocked in the country

noone from outside can do the accent properly.

I have a lovely Kidderminster lilt myself.

# mmmmm not that strong
more like jasper carrott crossed with a farmer (but only when I am drunk and in the room with another from Kidderminster)

# I know the Kiddi accent anyway. I used to work in Bewdley
and two of my former bands rehearsed in the Corn Exchange (by the old bus depot, now Tescos).

I'll drop into the local accent when in the locale but when I'm working in another part of the country with a very strong accent (like in Merthry Tydfil) I'll find myself fully pronouncing words and lose whatever accent I've got

# any one from outside the midlands
will say all accents from the midlands sound brummie.

# I sometimes
work near Wolverhampton, and they definitely don't sound like Brummies there - there's a definite different sound, and I'm not sure it's a better one.
