Essential for the younger Brummie to understand their older relatives, and a book full of nostalgia for the 'old uns'. A treasure-trove of Brummie, Black Country and other slang used in Birmingham for centuries. An important repository for these fast - disappearing local gems. Read it, use them and keep our heritage language alive. Also a great gift for older Brummies.
