00:00I think the accent is quite hated around England. Whenever someone asks what's the worst accent
00:06in the UK, everyone says Brummie accent, but I think it's alright. We've got a few words
00:11like raw, any, I hear a lot of people saying, I use it myself as well. I don't think it's
00:15all that bad, you know. There's worse accents out there, but I'm not going to name names.
00:24It's a unique accent. I'm from the black country, so we tend to be separate from Birmingham.
00:38Well I grew up in the black country, so the black, it's not even an accent, it's a dialect.
00:43So I've had to ease it out as I've moved to Birmingham, but you hear the Birmingham accent
00:48less and less I'd say now. I'd say you still hear it out and about, but certainly some
00:53of the words have gone. But yeah, it's not as prevalent as it used to be, but yeah. But
01:02I'm a big fan of the Brummie accent, because it's very lyrical, very up and down, a very
01:06very, you know, it's fun to listen to, it's not a boring accent.
01:10I've always liked it. I went to uni in Yorkshire, lived down in London for a while, and I've
01:18always been proud of being from here. And I like the fact that when I chat to my mum
01:22or my brother, my accent goes a little bit more broad. And then I've lived down in Kent
01:27for a while, so you then kind of have to fit in with a little bit more of a southern twang.
01:32To say that Birmingham has an accent, it's difficult to centre it, because it's all multicultural
01:43now. You know, it's sort of foreign accents. It's Birmingham, but it has a foreign accent,
01:55you know, like West Indian or Asian or something like that.
