Vyse St- Jewellary Qtr - how do you say it?

[BernardR]

Has Jasper a dialect or simply an accent? I think of folk from the Black Country as having a Dialect and [apart from a few old English words that we Brummies use] it is mainly accent that defines us.

When I think of comics and Midlands dialect I think of Aynuk and Ali and of course Tommy Mundon'

Sorry but the pedant in me is escaping again

So Astoness how do you pronounce Advise?

If you "ADVIZE" someone, you give them "ADVICE", don't you?

I've always called Vyse Street "VIZE STREET", but a Black Country man might say
"Yawm tawkin' abart Voice Streat!"

 

[BernardR]

Yowem correct ov course.

Bernie I only named Jasper as an illustration but a dialect or an accent can both change how a word sounds. And the other two you mention I've never eard of; I left Brum and England 42 years ago!

As Jasper would say "gora goe now" and that is dialect ain it?

 

[BernardR]

But 'Aynuk and Ali' are Black Country characters in folklore long before that Graham or indeed before the Comics I linked to were even born.

Alas, looking in an A-Z, I discover a namesake street off the Lichfield Road in Aston.
Two Vyse Streets in the north of Brum - not exactly Highfield Road or Station Road is it?

"For God's sake,let's go round the "Brown Lion" in Hall St, spelt HALL, and sort it out over a Pint, spelt PINT"

As a Vyse myself it is pronounced Vize. The S turns into a Z.. alot make it a C also.
