Had a right old giggle when I worked for a breakdown company and took ages to understand we were picking up this Brummie guy from Bury and not somewhere called “Borray” as I thought he was saying.

It took a lot of effort to keep a straight face when a brummie I’d just met asked me, “Would you like a jelly baby?” when holding out a packet.

where is the Midlands because I feel like I’m from the Midlands but I don’t have an accent or a way of saying words

I suppose what we’re talking about here is the accent group that is like Black Country and Yammers (a bit), like Birmingham, Worcestershire, Leicestershire maybe? I’m not that sure tbh
