I spent the 60s in Birmingham, where I was born {the real Birmingham where almost everyone's accent sounds a slit wrist away from suicide at worst and depression at best, the one in the UK that produced Lenny Henry, Black Sabbath, the Moody Blues, Benjamin Zephaniah, Steel Pulse, The Move, ELO, Judas Priest and Spaghetti junction} but around '68, '69, friends and relatives told my Dad that Canada was crying out for people with his skills {he was a civil engineer} and besides, William Shatner had left. So there plans to move to Canada. At the same time, a job came up in London that provided a flat in what was then the slums of Islington. The choice was simple, the beauty of the worlds 2nd largest land mass with it's bears and opportunities or the racially incendiary slums of late 60s Islington......
To this day I've never been to Canada !
I've always thought of the Birmingham accent as being like Liverpudlians whinging.

Hello Saskatchewan!
Just to confuse you, I grew up next door to you in Alberta...but have now retired to sunny tropical Australia after 30+ years working in the TV industry in England.

It's the whingiest accent in England. My Mum beat it out of me. Even when Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi are merrilly talking about the good times and laughing, they sound utterly miserable....
