Brummie Lads and Lasses

£11.99

Birmingham people can be found all over the world. The majority stay at home and live in the area where they were born. Some venture to London or other parts of England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales. The more adventurous go to English speaking countries and some to non-English speaking countries. Industrial Birmingham during and after Victorian times was a tough hard working city. Birmingham people generally speak with an accent and there were many accent and dialects in and around Birmingham particularly in the Black Country. Sometimes these dialects could be useful. These are stories of fiction but come from some of my life's experiences and knowledge.
