replied on: 10/24/2007 9:42:51 PM Handsworth or Andwurd Bab'lon SituAtion. If I say the word Handsworth - do you immediately think of the word "Wood" or "Revolution"? HarBORN or Arbun? As in Arbun Igh Street (former Black Country nail making village sharing a parish church with Smethwick) or "Do we live in HAR-BOURNE mummy or HAR-Borne?" - having misguided self delusions that this congested arterial road to Bartley Green is somehow Birmingahm's equivalent to Kensington and Chelsea Sootton? Royal Sutton Coldfield? Or North Birmingham? The People's Republic of? Or that place next to the park ... where all the snobs live? North Solihull? Or Kings 'urst? ShellDON or Sheld'n? Is it a coincidence that flying from Ireland you leave Dublin close to the Balymun estate and arrive in Brum at Sheld'n? Blackheath or Bloc-eeeth? Wolverhampton or WOlv-ramptun? Wall-sall or WAs'l? DudLey or Dooderleeeeeeeee? SmethICK - Smewick The Black Country ones are a specialist subject in themselves really. SparkHill, SparKill or "oh shit, we're in the twilight zone, have any of these people ever 'eard of a driving test?" OldBerry or Olbree? High Gate or I-gut? As in "our nanna Jenkins come out uf I-gut...er did ahhh" Hockley - Ockley. You gow oop Ockley but down Ladywud an ova Astun. Small Heath - Smore Eeeet innit? |
