00:00Hello, I've come to ask you today, what is the worst UK accent?
00:05Oh well, I would have to say probably Birmingham.
00:10Or actually, maybe the Black Country.
00:14Right listen, first of all, if you're going to come on here and you're going to slate the Birmingham accent,
00:19at least say Birmingham properly.
00:21There's a G in there, it's not Birmingham.
00:24It's Birmingham.
00:25And two, you only say Birmingham in the Black Country because it's the accent you don't hear that much of.
00:31It's not mainstream. It's not mainstream.
00:34It's becoming more mainstream by the day.
00:36I mean, I've noted that there's more people on TV and radio nowadays that have my accent.
00:42And I love that. I love that. I'm quite happy to hear that.
00:44But when I was growing up, there were nobody on TV with my accent.
00:48There were nobody on the radio with my accent.
00:50So, I'm here for it.
00:52And thirdly, shut up.
00:56It's been said. Bye.
