I had a bunch of guys painting my house in the London suburbs and one day they asked me about my accent and I said I was a Brummie and one of them said , 'Peaky Blinders - I knew I recognised the accent' He seemed really chuffed about meeting a Brummie. So, has Peaky Blinders made us cool at last?

Hey guys same down here in the land of Aus-the other day a nurse at the doctors was applying a dressing to my leg, chatting away and then said,' Are you from England ?' then qualified it more by asking, 'Birmingham ?'
'Yes,' I replied,'Youve got a good ear for accents.'
'I knew it,' she said, ' I'm watching Peaky Blinders and you sound just like them.'

From a piece in the Guardian yesterday at https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-...-next-steven-knight-on-his-shows-final-series .Which was the pub that is supposed to only admit women workers and if men went in they would be assaulted ?
We were in Oban a couple of years ago and were having a beer with my wife's cousin at a local bar, when my wife was told that she talks just like a Peaky Blinder by a chap who was engaged in propping up the bar. He was a big fan of the programme too. My wife is actually Scottish and has clearly done a great job of picking up our dulcet tones, in the years since she came to Brum as a wee 5-year old!
