Oh dear
I'm from Brum and I have a real bad accent I will freely admit. The funny thing is no one ever says anything about it unless they have the guarneteed safety of the Internet or on TV. I suppose calling people thick from behind a keyboard just shows that their intelligence is actually on a higher level than most other humans....I mean look at Steven Hawking his accent sounds terrible so he must be thick as 2 short planks.
