For those of you who might not come from the Midlands, you might not like/understand this. However, some people are from the Midlands/Black Country and I found this tongue-in-cheek dictionary here. I also found this: More General English Slang DictonaryAnd if anyone is wondering, 'Yam Yam' is "warr brummays loike Kneetroll call us frum Walsall..." |

Indeedy I do my friend ;D heehee
I actuall saw on a café wall in Devon once:
Birmingham: Wud yaw lyke a cuppa tay?
Translation: Would you care for a cup of tea?
lol - Brummies don't talk like that! LOL! But does Matt?
That dictionary is actually quite funny!
"Acucks Groin" - I am SO gonna call it that from now on!!
"Gret Bar" - Ooh that's me home that is!

You know, I don't think so. I can read and pronouce the stuff as it is on the site, but I bet that I sub-conscious sound like that anyway.

Londoners......polite!?! On which planet! "London, often considered to be the rudest city in Britain, had shop staff who were among the most civil in the country." heh Probably because if they weren't so polite they'd get a mouthful from customers then.. maybe |

huh?!?! is that some sort of dress code? Sort of...if you're a bloke in Newcastle and you wear a jacket you will get beaten up. If you're a lass you MUST be dressed in a mini skirt and bikini top on a night out, even (and especially) if its below freezing point. Tis very bizarre. |

Yeah but the jacket is too bulky, you'll take it off anyway. Must have to be a crazy newcastle girl to understand that  and if anyone wants a geordie translater here ya go: www.geordie.org.uk/ |

Yeah but you'll warm up when your dancing and the jacket will just be annoying and theres a good chance once you take it off it'll get stolen and you wouldnt want that happening...
