The Black Country is a Shit Hole
 

When asked I usually say that i'm from Birmingham or near Birmingham but this has always been a source of shame for the Black Country lad.

There's something i'd like you to know - arm no Brummie, arm Black Country.

Here are some facts -


1. Queen victoria was the first person to talk shit about us and shut the curtains on the train as she was passing

"The country is very desolate every where; there are coals about, and the grass is quite blasted and black. I just now see an extraordinary building flaming with fire. The country continues black, engines flaming, coals, in abundance, every where, smoking and burning coal heaps, intermingled with wretched huts and carts and little ragged children."

2. We have our own dialect, dialects aren't accents and apparently it's most similar to Chaucer's English. I've also heard many times that it's currently the most similar dialect to Shakespearean English.

Brummies call us Yam Yams.. look up quick speech or something for why

3. Built the anchor for the Titanic

4. BUILT THE FIRST STEAM ENGINE IN THE WORLD 1712

5. BUILT AND SHIPPED THE FIRST TRAIN TO AMERICA YOU ARE WELCOME

6. INSPIRATION FOR MORDOR - MORDOR MEANS BLACK COUNTRY IN TOLKIEN MADE UP LANGUAGE

7. THESE PEOPLE FUCKED OFF TO AMERICA in 1637

Being from the Black Country is looked down upon by the rest of England, mention that you're from Dudley and people will usually display their best attempt at the dialect.

The borders are disputed, with most people probably wanting to be excluded from the area, but I think geological demarcations can be made.

Dent is a freak who spent too much time on the internet instead of interacting with his fellow scumbags, recognised that it wouldn't do him well early on and didn't really pick the dialect up.

Where on Earth are you from? Do you put the kettle on?

I think the biggest downside of these people is that they let the rest of the world spy on us and copy our shit, the place would be Wakanda by now.
The dialect will be gone in a few generations.. please donate today to fund a reservation for the black country because they're going to be saying kurwa shortly

See that place called Cannock at the top of the second picture?
Av a guess what it's famous for

Dogging.

I've always wanted one of those huge fridge freezer things, do you know what we call them over here? American Style fridge freezers.
But really I just want ice to go and you can get little on-counter ice machine makers that don't seem too big, bread machine sized? If there's a really nice one with like sick overmachined parts I am interested

I have a fridge/freezer with an ice machine and the piece of shit gets plugged with ice at least once a week which results in a bunch ice cubes on my floor.

My ice machine has a plastic auger which has a chunk broken off. It means that I start the process of getting ice and, on any given day, may have to wait a full 30 seconds before any ice actually dispenses.


On other days, I have to open the actual freezer, take off the top of the ice maker (which acts as a shelf for food, so this is a process), and manually break apart ice like some sort of caveman.

You fucking all have ice machines don't you

God damnit, Dent, you're missing the point. Ice machines are nothing but a headache.

I've actually don't have an ice machine, but I don't put ice in any drinks.

Happy Black country day
Built the fuckin steam engine brrr

Did you ever get an ice machine?

No, eventually I will have a plumbed in ice machine american style fridge, but not today.
If it's southern england will need some filters too because the tap water is very heavy
