I think it does to the untrained ear.
I think it does to the untrained ear.I’m originally from brum and you can take it from me your accent sounds nothing like brummie.
I went to Maine road in the 80’s Regis 1-0 evening game if I remember correctly and they sang “You dirty brummie bastards” after a foul by us !!!
you sure that was an evening game?
That's the one sat behind the goal,Just looked 4/11/89 league cup game.If it was the 89/90 season yeah....in the cup (I remember it being on the official highlights video for that season)
Apart from batches of course - that is ours and ours alone.
It isn’t. They say batch in the Wirral in Liverpool too apparently.
Similar location to where we stole our “speak with an accent exceedingly rare” song from.
Speaking as a lifelong City fan who has lived away from the area from the age of 4, I I find the Coventry accent undistinguishable from a Leicester accent. It’s clearly different from a brummie one however.
Wirral.... plassie scousers!!! Nobody in Liverpool calls it a batch.I petition we start claiming "la" after everything as a Coventry thing, la.
Interesting observation (re. Oxon). They do say that the 'old' Cov accent was very similar to the cotswolds/Glaws/Oxon sort of rural brogue.I think ours is a mix of East/West Mids and Oxfordshire. Apart from batches of course - that is ours and ours alone.

Thought a batch in Merseyland was a Barm Cake ?Wirral.... plassie scousers!!! Nobody in Liverpool calls it a batch.
Yeah a lot do.... Had a lovely sausage barn cake at Goodson on New Year’s Day....wasn’t sure what I’d get until it was handed to meThought a batch in Merseyland was a Barm Cake ?
I think generally speaking only somebody from Coventry (and Warwickshire) can place the accent. I'd say it has more features similar to East Midlands than Birmingham.
There was recently a questionnaire survey on the New York Times website, it placed my accent as Cov / Warks or around Lincoln.
