Funny, but unfair! Wyn Evans has one of the best tenor voices to come out of Wales for a long time. He's a great entertainer too. But I must admit that the adverts drive me wild, and I haven't got a TV!

I'm glad that you like the dialect, although strictly speaking the chocolate is made up the road in a nice part of Birmingham ( we have a dialect but poor spelling, Birmingham only has an accent but great chocolate

Chocolate is made in Bournville, which is in the south of Birmingham and certainly not in Yam Yam country

Seems like the poster is a put up job as I am fairly sure I ignored one just the same in Cheltenham last week.
The dialects of the Midlands are varied and extremely highly developed. Where else can so much be expressed or meant by so few guttural sounds
I write as son of the Black Country, and I have difficulty in understanding Brummies, even though Birmingham is just next door.
Its often the case that in multi-language instruction books, its usually the English which is the the most succinct, yet if it were translated into any of the midland dialects it would be even shorter; probably "Ask the kids"( (English translation)

There is no accent in Birmingham, we speak queen's english. Eeveryone in the Queen's head at the end of our road speaks it.
