about us, lol.) The Brummie (Birmingham area)/greater Black Country accent (what the video referred to as West Midlands, which is far too expansive for me as there are other accents within that overall area) almost always is rated, in national polls, as the worst. One of my besties is from the West Brom area and I call him a Brummie all the time, which winds him up like a bloody top, ihihihihhih.
