Hail from Worcester, so slight residue of my original cider farmer's drawl is more akin really.....

Worcester?
I was there today

East of the Severn.
Relatives forcing vast amounts of lovely Xmas grub on me

Never lose that accent.
It's you.

Born in Brummagem
Moved to Black Country aged 12.
Moved to London aged 22

Brummies get very upset if people mix up our accent (which I now only have when talking to my mother on the phone) with Black Country; Black Country denizens get extremely agitated if they are described as having a Brummie accent.

I get extremely agitated when someone automatically assumes that a Brummie accent means you are thick.

Bah, humbug. "Humbug! Humbug! Humbug, Mister Baldrick?"

^^^^^^^^^
a man who understands my pain...lol

what doesn't help is virtually every brummie who appears on tv is thick!! they pick them deliberately i reckon; bit like when they choose the worse Stobart drivers for that show, or it'd be very boring show...lol

My daughter loves it and my girlfriend loves it so I endure it but I consider it a chore. December 26 is one of my favorite days of the year.

The only great thing about Christmas where I live are the Christmas parties Mom and I are invited to in the building. Several people invite Mom and I and we both enjoy all the food, wine and good times. The building itself holds a large combination Christmas and New Years Party. The one last year was fabulous. First there were all the goodies. A large table was set up for wine and other spirits. Then one woman who is a great cook and baker brought her famous lemon bars. I had seven of them. Other people brought shelled mixed nuts, tortilla chips, all kinds of crackers, and dips, and another resident brought a chocolate cake. My Mom brought a box of Frango Mints. Another woman brought a large cooked dish with my favorite cooked vegetable: Asparagus. The only thing about the party I did not like and this is when I usually leave is the singing of the Christmas Carols. All and all these Christmas parties are quite a delight.
