knowlegable brummie
you buy a packet of crumpets but you call them pykelets
That settles it then, I am most certainly a true Brummie! I thought I was the only one to call them that.
Incidentally, not sure exaclty where, it may have been Delia Smith, but I have read that pikelets and crumpets are actually two different things, although similar.

Hi Shortie
Do you come from the posh end of Brum? Oops sorry there is'nt one. A buzz is a buzz.
What I want to know is when does "Brummie" become "Black country"?
When you hear people try to send-up the Brummie accent most of the time they imitate the Black country twang.
With regard to the Pikelet/Crumpet debate... without a doubt they are called Pikelets.
See the well established thread called "What do you call these?..."
