Brummie-isms
by J_P_B
While somewhat more understandable than a lot of dialects in the UK (well, sometimes, anyway) there are certain quirks that we brummies have when we speak.
Brummie - Queen's English
"You alright bab?" - Hello, how are you?
"I'm going to town" - I am going into the city centre.
"Pop" - fizzy soft drink (e.g. coke)
"Bostin" - very good
"buzz" - bus
There are more and I'll add them as I notice them! :)

We went there by car. Very comformtable and fast. From holland on the boat to Dover. Then the motorway to London and Birmingham.
Parking is awkward, but after 19.00 its free.
Traffic can be busy, but most of the times you can drive normally. Be aware of the speedcontrol!
Best kebab in Birmingham
by brummielaura about Neelam's Kebab House
Well, if everybody has a favourite kebab house, this is mine! They have a massive choice of takeaway food including of course kebabs! There is also plenty of seating if you prefer to have your kebab there and then.
