I think we have a few 'Yam yam', a couple of 'Yo yos' and one or two 'boing boings' on here....

Yam Yam = Wolverhampton
Yo Yo = Dudley
Boing Boing = West Bromwich

I used to work out who was from where in Birmingham, by asking them what that famous large toy supermarket chain was called.

Depending on the answers "Toys Urruz", "Toys Am Us" or "Toys Am We", I could tell where they were from in the Black Country area.....

Sometimes, it didn't sound like English at all; for example:-

"Yam gooin' hum on the buzz?" "Ar!"
(Translation: "Will you be travelling home on the bus?" "Indeed!")

Sometimes, it didn't sound like English at all; for example:-

"Yam gooin' hum on the buzz?" "Ar!"
(Translation: "Will you be travelling home on the bus?" "Indeed!")

Would that be a piratey "Ar" like "Arrrr!" or a silent one sounding more like "Aye!"?

I might pop along and take a look, I live in Stourbridge so not too far, and I work in Birmingham City Centre and cover the all of the Midlands area for my job, including Kings Heath, Mosely, Bournville etc...

Also pretty nifty at Kick Off 2 too... especially Final Whistle
