Talk like a brummie?

Don't we always talk like brummies?

Being as we are all from Birmingham?

I thought so too

But then I thought, "...but we don't all talk like Carl Chinny Chin Chin" so really I think it's talk like Carl Chin day.

But...

...Carl Chinny Chinn Chinn doesn't really talk like a brummie, so maybe it should be Talk Like a Yam Yam Day.

Not so

According the perfectly reliable Wikipedia Carl Chinny is the definitive brummie speaker and used as an example of the difference between brummie and yam yam. I also found this surprising but if it's on the internet how can it possibly be wrong.

It seems the Manchester wikipedia page is intent on portraying Manchester as the UK's second city despite my valiant attempts to insert evidence to the contrary.

In fact Mr Chinn was born and raised in Moseley from Aston and Sparkbrook stock so would seem to have a fair claim to having a brummie accent.

Well...

I suspect that he speaks the queen's english when he is not in the public eye.
