If you're from Brum Town keep your mouth shut! lol

Apparantly in a recent study to find out about stereotypes, participants were presented with images of people and voice clips. They were asked to rate the accents/images based on how intelligent they thought it was.. and guess what Brummie accents were rated the lowest! The rating was even lower than if the person was silent!! How unfair and mean is that lol! That's a shame, I best watch out when I go uni 'cause people may be thinking I'm sounding dumb lol.

On a positive note our accents don't affect whether someone finds us attractive or not lol.. always look on the bright side of life :p.
