Birmingham is not far away and there certainly was a group there

Bod, that sounds like a good plan, but would you understand their Brummie dialect? BTW, which is more working class, Birmingham or Coventry?

Though I don't know its current status, Birmingham.pm was led for many years by the famous barbie, who I see you already outrank at Perl Monks -- though he's slightly ahead of you on CPAN with 112 distributions.

You have an easy ice-breaker though: ask barbie in your best Brummie accent to add you to his Acme::CPANAuthors::British module. :-)

would you understand their Brummie dialect I went to university in Manchester and stayed there for 20 years...even after all that time, people would sometimes ask me which part of Birmingham I come from! Apparently, I have a slight Brummie accent so understanding it is not going to be a problem. I'm more fluent in Brummie than I am in Aussie so understanding you eyepopslikeamosquito could be more challenging if we were ever to meet 😜	[reply]

But yarnin' with you'd be hard yakka, you'd look like a stunned mullet. No worries mate, we'd go out woop woop for some amber fluid and chuck a banger on the barbie. She's apples, Bob's your uncle! :-) BTW, re Shrimp on the barbie, very few use the word 'shrimp' in Australia (the word most commonly used is 'prawn') and the phrase is often perceived as American (see also: Don't come the raw prawn). Updated: added reference to Shrimp on the barbie and Don't come the raw prawn 👁️🍾👍🦟	[reply]
