I was told by a former Brum-ite that in order to speak like the locals, I should basically just omit all vowels. Is that accurate for the black country as well?



there's a subtle difference between the accents in Birmingham and the black country [B'ham isn't in the black country] they whine more

rather than omit vowels, it's more a matter of swallowing them, they all become glottal stops [apparently], but now i'm really getting out of my depth
