I don't know any Brummies who say, Mum. It's Mom ffs! F***ing Peaky Blinders pisses me off no end. Stopped watching it before the end of S01... Its not the irritating accents and the programme that bothers me so much... it’s that every time someone asks where I’m from these days and I say Birmingham the instant response seems to be Peaky Blinders in the worst attempt at a Brummie accent ever (thanks to the programme itself no doubt) It's becoming the new Beatles for me. If some twunt starts a PB sightseeing tour round these ways he’s getting a Colombian necktie. Lots of it is filmed round here, I believe there was a beach scene tonight, well the beach in question starts over the road from our house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I say mom, but usually write mum. I've watched a few episodes of Peaky Blinders but I didn't really like it. I want to though so I might give it another go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife, a Walsall girl says mom, but I thought she was just being contrary. I recall reading something where Dr Carl Chinn (possibly the most Brummie man in the world) confirmed that it's a Brummie / Black Country thing to say Mom, and it's traditional to the area. My parents called their mother, Mom, and so on and so on. I've obviously not met every Brummie ever, but the ones I know, to a man, say Mom.

Yeah, I had a feeling this had been debated before, but it did genuinely piss me off a little last night, when it probably shouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 16, 2017 Growing up in Birmingham, it was always mom. Of course, after 40+ years away, I'm long since a 'mum' user now. I gave up on Peaky Blinders after one episode. The deal breaker, as ever, was the use of contemporary music in a period drama. Hate, hate, hate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
