We have them all in Manchester-ish. Probably because most people want to be from London. Hence they say all their ers as oh. "FRAY-OH!" "I COME FROM MANCHESTOH!" "GET EE-YOH NOW FRAY-OH!"

^^ aha, i love the way the brummies talk. but coincidently, if you speak to alot of the people in birmingham around the 'ghettos' they are from london. so we get alot of london slang up here too, hence why sometimes i sound like i'm from east ldn when i'm talking ROFL. i'm easily influenced.

[paradox]

Hush your gums (annoying)
