Born in Wordsley Hospital, a minute from the Wordlsey cone. Brierley Hill, Stourbridge, K'ford (Crestwood school) and Dudley; Black Country B & B, born and bred! >XD when I went to Oldswinford boys school sounded like, as a local, my accent was always well understood by a number of other students, not only from other places of the UK but as a boarding school the rest of the world.!. That was 80's/9o's though. 20-odd years out of the BC my accent is far less broad; will admit, even I struggled with the pre 1960's accent; a step closer to olde English Anglo-Saxon that I understand!

To be fair, this is DIALECT not accent. Good stuff though.🙂

Me jor it the flewer ter hear a proper axunt x might be me but if i dont cut a samwich i call it a piece lol

The Wolves av scooed fower

Love this, my dad was from Tipton and supported West Brom!

A lovely video of Kinver & its past history. I married a Kinver girl in 1960 & we lived for two years in Dunsley, so it's quite nostalgic to see some of the footage within the video. Brings back a lot of treasure memories.

Yow spake loik me mom n dad.

I’m coming back to Swindon on holiday with my son in a couple of weeks. Haven’t been home since I was 12 in the Summer of ‘89!

Why do they need a slang term for a catapult? This place must be awesome

You slipped up there ,,,heavy hammers is evy ommers

must be the worst accent in the known universe !

Born and bred in Walsall. Served 24 years in Germany. Shame the place has become a chav sht hole.

I love languages and dialects. Especially ones that are particular to an area or people. This was a great video. Id love to head over that way ... if for no other reason than to give the locals a few chuckles when I talk. Im an American ,from New England, through and through. And I sound like it. Thx.

Thank you very much for the video.👍👍👍

Where yo bin? I bin cooming

Well if them bay winders. Wot bin um. Black country mon born and bred. Live in Scotland now. But i always miss the place i couldn't get away from fast enough. Never thought i would long for the smell of foundries long gone. DARTMOUTH AUTO CAST. THOMAS DUDLEY.AND A THOUSAND MORE. 😢

Worro Aah Kid! “Arm gooin up the bonk”. Arm catchin the Buz to Swinvert (Kingswinford) or Swin (Swindon). Brumidgam (Birmingham). As for flurters I used to make my own because you could buy square section 1/4 in elastic. We used the wheels and axles off silver cross prams to make trollies NOT go carts and we used to lie on our bellies to make them go faster and using your trailing feet at the back to steer better. Marbles were popular or maybe botlies. In the winter using the old babies powdered milk tins and wire we used to make fire cans with wood and coke, kept them going until we were called in at about 7:30, started them off with paper and bits of stick stuck some coke in and then because we’d put holes around the sides and bottom we’d swing them around our heads to generate the heat. The games we used to play were kick the can and variations of it. Nesting for egg collection was Ok in them days because there was no scarcity of wild life then. We’d play in the sand quarry behind Wall Heath at the back of Blaze hill Rd. Where we used to live. Bloody hell yo’ve bought up memries !! Thanks for that I enjoyed it. Cheers Aah Kid!

You know, having been born and raised in the Black Country for many years and now living in Wales I understood everything you said. On one of my visits to Black Country museum I overheard a couple having a bit of a tiff . The chap said, if yow doe shur up I’ll bost yow faece and she retorted, ar’m more than a match fer yow ar’ll gi yow a good Thrairpin’ any day. She was,to all in tense and purposes a small and attractive woman, very pretty-with probably a useful right hook. Luv Black Country folk!

Yo forgot YOOM and WEEM

I've fun a fiver on the floher

Ow bin ya, bin ya know

I am a Brummie and the two glossaries do coincide sometimes( much to the disgust of some yam-yams) but one comment still makes me smile today. I had, together with my Black Country partner, a small joinery company. We bought an Italian machine that proved to be useless so the suppliers swapped it for a new one. That machine burned out in a week and that too was swapped together with an apology from the manufacturers and a promise that an Italian rep from the company. I explained this to a Black Country chap who was a sometimes customer. This is what he said,’ well Al if he cossant understond ya, yow send for we’. You had to be there to here the accent.

I was born in Stourbridge maternity hospital 68 years ago, and was raised in Lye, by parents who both came from Lye families. But... I've been living down south in Brighton for about 45 years. I still sound Black Country to people down here, but when I go home for a visit, friends complain that I sound like a southerner. You can't win! TBF, I do have a glottal stop now, so I say 'waw'er' instead of 'water'. I have picked up a lot of southern speech along the way.

Parts of Halesowen???

Hello 👍

So very sad, planned to go and see it after my operation this year. 😢

the old uns would say the blackcountry was 30 min walk from the bottom of dudley castle hill ,in each direction that was it ,alot say the boarder of smethwick up to sedgley across to stourbridge n bridgenorth ,across to nearthrton and boader to wolverhampton, not walsall,i was born n beed in tipton aka the lost city,the dialect is held from old small villages at the time no need to change from old middle english folks didnt travel very far so it held the dialect, and when heavy industry came in was a way to spake without outsiders uderstanding it combined with hand signs because of loud factories allso lip movement without spaken er al git muo sense ot er wammel

Nice to meet you today mate. Keep up the good work, these videos are great. All the best, Jimmy the mower 👍

I restore old buildings for a living.. words fail me.. state of people’s mindset now.. you know who you are and you know you’ve f’d up.. big time.. I say make an example .. you had no right to do this you heartless bastard

Crooked house gone forever and the country that it was standing in is not to far behind it

Come back, Grandad, and tell us what you think about how the new owners got rid of this unique and historic treasure in a matter of days.

I watched this video a week before it burned down. Sad.

Totally gutted this stinks new owners are behind this that’s why after the fire they couldn’t wait to demolish it

Another corrupt developer setting fire to this establishment it's common knowledge that what most developers do to empty public houses

Sadly I learned today that the place has now been gutted by a fire.

SWEATIN LIKE A ROBBERS OSS

Daish Holidays for all Illegal Immigrants coming in the country 👏👏👏👏 keep up the good work😳😳😳😳

Just for a few minutes I was home at 232 Birmingham road, it's now in the black country museum, a cast iron house that would freeze the nuts off a brass monkey in winter, my accent has softened a bit since i last walked them streets up until 1970 and the dudley i knew is long gone, must get back for a look round, bit of a trip up from the cotswolds.

My moms aunties would say ooh yow Cor do that ar kid, this came about when we as a family decided to up sticks and move to new Zealand. I sometimes use black country lingo when I talk to my kiwi mates. I would use the black country lingo when I would get a bit kalied, my missus and her mom would start laughing. One day I told one of my gaffers at the fish factory he was "cowin yampy and I was going to lump him one in the fizhog he looked at me as if I was dead yampy

Metropolita est dialectus, quae Italica est
