Stereotypical I know but its true people perceive brummie speakers as thickos, I quite like it though.

Yeah that's probably a better word actually. I agree, when I listen to Adrian Chiles on Match of the Day he sounds like a right thicko! I obviously can't really tell when it comes to how I sound because I'm so used to it, but yeah, we're just a collective of thicko's here
