Ban on the Black Country dialect

In the 1980's I managed a distribution depot in West Brom, have to say I got on great with everyone. And the orange chips, well they were lovely. Can you still get them or are they like chips everywhere now.

Interestingly, if you look at old English there are a lot of similarities to the old Scando languages too, they were far closer back then that they are today. I believe it has been said that 1000 years ago the English and the Vikings could communicate quite well when not trying to kill each other.

I think starting that paragraph with the word interesting was a bit of an oxymoron!! :5:

There's always been rivalry between Black Country and Brummies now it's more of a love hate relationship but in the late 70's early 80's it was quite a vicious one.
 
Never ralised that gator dude, so even a fellow Villan would have hated me even though we would have been at VP together back in the 70' if so thats mental lol i can understand Baggies Villa but yam yam Brummie's wow never knew it was so bad back then lol
 
gator - 15/11/2013 22:33

WOW thats mental, fellow Villans fighting each other never understood it, but over an accent is barmy times

Orange chips - don't normal people call them Wotsits?

Wotsits, ummph we are talking proper chips from a proper chip shop. None of them soppy white things or just bit of potatoes. These are proper chips and if you ain't tried them then you have missed out.
Bloody youngsters ain't lived. Wotsits pfff.

I've got a brummie accent. Some accents I like, some I dont, but dialect does piss me off a bit, it's just lazy.

Regardless of having an accent there is no excuse for not talking properly. saying things like 'yor' instead of 'you' and 'how am ya' instead of 'how are you' isnt quirky or friendly IMO, it just makes you sound like a bit thick.

I personally would not employ someone who did this. I work for an international company with a good reputation, ideally I'd want my customers, suppliers and associates to be spoken to with a proper english accent like the royal family have, but as a second best option I at least want people who can string a coherent sentence








Or Larf instead of Laugh , Barf instead of Bath oh wait hang on that's Brummie.

Forgive me mate but that's absoulute bol&@ks. A proper accent like the Royal Family ? The Royal Family have an accent that's been manufactured it doesn't have dialect from any particular and also has faults.

The Black Country dialect is Chaucers English and of the closest remaining to the Saxon version once used. So if you're knocking dialect , and if the truths known it's dying out , but if it's accents you're knocking you're on shaky ground there as a brummie.

Even as a proud Yam Yam I agree with the school and "proper" English should be taught just to prepare kids for that type of attitude you've shown , sorry kid you'd be perfect for the job but you're accent was wrong !

My Wife's an English teacher and she's certain that Text language is doing more damage than regional dialect.

I agree. The black country is a stain on humanity and it's people have no place in the modern world. The sooner we have a pure Aryan race speaking perfect German covering the world, the better.

Even in the early 70's there was some nasty fights in the Holte End between the Quinton and the Smethwick mobs and I even remember some form of liquid ammonia being thrown over people.

I wasn't associated with either sides but I still got some ammonia on my coat which stunk to high heaven.

As for the Black Country accent.......It's all part of the cultural tapestry within the UK and and I've never had a problem with it.

Except trying to fully understand it sometimes!?
