:angel: Loik the uver Xpats oi was able to read them all orf right away. Our Jamie was in fits, as he had tried to read them before I told him what they said.
Kandy says I no longer sound Brummie when speaking to him. However 'New Poms' who I have met here (those who've only been here a short time), do often pick out where I'm from. I'm told it's because of just some small inflexion in some of my words.

Old Ray was quite a hero of mine born in Saltley and proud to be a Brummie is he still alive ? I dont know
but like old Chinny he was not ashamed to say it how it was
 
Cromwell l've been gone 48yrs now and was still able to read " brummie language", its been music to my ears, or shiould l say eyes, glad to say i've never picked up the" Texas twang", and the locals always compliment me on my accent???, but let a british person meet up with me over here and they know immediatly where i'm from, once a Brummie always a Brummie, MY children and grandchildren think l'm real smart being able to say understand and read a foreign language, as thats what it looks like to them.
