Today is Talk Like A Brummie Day - How’re you getting on?

I’m off to a meeting in London today and I’m going to get all colleagues talking Brummie. They usually take the ‘p’ out of my accent anyway, so they can officially do it for the entire meeting to mark the occasion of Talk Like a Brummie Day!

Well done on the campaign

I work at Liverpool University & am proudly wearing a Birmingham shirt today.

Am planning to award a prize to the colleague that talks in the best Brummie accent.

Bostin!

My dad was born in Temple Street and that makes me half brummie. I have a favourite joke and here it is.

1st Man Went down the cut today and I caught a whale.

2nd Man What is a humpback or blue whale?

1st Man No. It was a bicycle whale.

Every day is a Brummie Day where I live. Been 20 odd years since living there (Northfield) but my kids still take the micky of my accent, specially when I say I’m going for a sharr (shower)

My daughter used to have all her writtings at school corrected from “mom” to “mum”. Now she fills in the gap in the U (in mum) of my mothers day cards as she knows I am proud of my roots.

Oi, I talk like a Brummie EVERY day!

So far so good .. I’ve only ‘ad a few stares but people over ‘ere in Ottawa are quite edjukated like, so they tend to just smile politely. Sum of ‘em are too shy ta arske me ta repeat meself. If I wuz in Brum I wouldn’t have too many people saying “Yer wot luv ???” every time I say summat.
‘Ope everyone’s ‘avin a bostin day…..

i’ve a bostin day even with the rain and train cancellations at new street..

..well done Bounder! :-)

I did my best to educate my colleagues in deepest, darkest….Coventry.

It’s a jungle, let me tell you - at lunchtime they even refer to cobs as ‘batches’. What’s that all about?
