Toad ya! Paykays wot we callz a "clay-yead" ;D I used to enjoy listening to the amusing stories about Grandad Pigott in clayhead* dialect on Radio Joke years ago. Unfortunately they've either dropped them or put them on at a time i can't listen anymore *Stokies are dubbed "clayheads" due to the clay used in making pottery. I'm sure Peekay knew this already

Sultan sounds a bit like a cross between Daza when he's had a few and wants to show off his mental bank of Wuzdahisms and my nan ;D That's the problem when trying to write in a dialect. Some of the Black Country spellings look similar to the Wuzdahisms but if tinpotters from other regions could hear me converse with Daza, i would sound like Jasper Carrot to them while Daza would sound like Worzel Gummidge! ;D

i would sound like Jasper Carrot Same old yamyams, always trying to hang on to the fame of their more illustrious neighbours. I'm convinced that part of the reason the Brummie accent is so derided is because people from the Black Country try to claim that they're from Birmingham when they meet people from elsewhere in the country. It may also be because the geography skills of the average Briton would have Wolverhampton two doors down from the Bull Ring

Same old dummies, living in a little twilight world of their own. The Land of the daft! The Jasper Carrot analogy was used rather than a more accurate one such as Tessa Sanderson or Ruth Badger (who are both actually from Wednesfield, Tessa indeed went to the same school as i did though she was just about finishing as i started) not out of desire to be thought a Brummie myself but because that is the example cited by the inbred northern chimps i work with. A classic was the morning when some wind-up merchant at Toyota gave me the full range of his reportoire and tried to goad me for more than an hour lampooning Birmingham. When he'd finally given up, other workmates expressed surprise that it hadn't got to me at all. I told them "He can insult Birmingham all he likes. I'm not bothered- i'm not a brummie!" ;D Being mistaken for a dummie used to be the bane of my life but it i suppose that come with living near a large population centre. We used to rile a chap from Watford by calling him a cockney. Nowadays i just reconcile myself to the fact that when some Brit on holiday automatically assumes the worst it's not his fault- he's just an ignorant monkey who doesn't know any better and is just trying to be friendly. ;D Trust me, no-one from the Black Country would ever actually claim to be a dummie, sometimes it's just easier to go along with the flow because they won't understand anyway if you try to explain Watch this. At around 18-20 seconds you'll see what we think of you dummies thinking that we want to be dummies, too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKt-KR1TsRg

I'm reminded of the corny old joke about Stan Collymore when he was at Liverpool.
He turns up one day at the training ground wearing a large and garish item of neckwear. "Kipper tie, Stan?" asks Gerard Houllier. "Yes thanks boss," replies Stan "with two sugars plaise".
;D
