There's no such thing as 'Anglo-Saxon', a term invented by archaeologists to explain away similarities in construction and styles of clothing. This means that typically the voice lowers in pitch and the sound of the last word fades away slowly. Each accent carries a certain reputation with it. We're all English now, after all. Wench – an affectionate term for a young woman. One bomb – to knock someone out with one punch.

Maybe they could have overcome this somewhat unusual speech impediment by moving to Walsall. Since I started to drive I've found a lot more, out towards Pickering and Hackness (Forge Valley). Brummies’ often employ a mild form of the ‘r’ sound often heard in the Spanish language. Though some are seldom used of late, they still ring true with the locals.Tara-a-bit. They were from Birmingham. In more recent times the phrase has been reclaimed by Blues fans as an act of defiance, a strategy not uncommon among marginalised teams.Verdict: Brummie.
