errrm can i just say a lot of people are mixing up black country and brummie.

tara a bit – yes is a brummie phrase.
bostin – most definitely black country
and as for this joke: -

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.

black country folk pronounce the e as an a not brummies!!! brummie would say wheeeeel black country would say whale. big difference!

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?

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 am in Italy and when I am speaking Italian I am calling people bab. The Italians do not seem to think it all strange.

Africa and looking at last nights evening mail,catching up on local
news I saw the articicle.Wish I could join you in Chamberlain Square

house prevents me ” its actually VERY dark over Bills Mothers”
Anyway have a great day…Brian Travers UB40
