No, in some peoples eyes not a proper Brummie, but my Dad came here to be a police officer in 1947 and we followed in1949 and so for 73 yrs I have lived here , worked here ,married here,raised 3 sons here and never ever wanted to leave and live elsewhere so perhaps in others eyes I can be called a brummie.

Like me then. I was only a Brummie for 6 weeks. Is a Yam Yam from the Black Country. My Aston freind's husband was working in Amblecote and he said they were all Yam Yams?
I have just traced another family of birth first cousins, all from Brum.
