Every little place has it's own sounding accent and dialect. I'm from Old Hill orginally - Rowley people think we are posh! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

John - I can't believe it - so many Brummies! For people from other areas it's a bit of fun local rivalry between the areas! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I always pronounced my middle name...which is Mary...as "marry" instead of "merry". Everyone says that I say it wrong! People who are closer to NYC have more of a NYC accent. Diana...do you have the Boston accent? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
