Good evening all

I am home. It was a lovely break,nice scenery interesting places and yes I was up a 6 in the morning to go to the gym before a swim before breakfast before starting the day. And I still understand heavy `Black country` accents but was shocked when this chap told me the local junior schools have written to parents to discourage their children from using it.

Oh yes I even crossed the border into Wales-the Horse shoe pass.

Yes and that was where a guide told me his children should be `discouraged` from speaking `Black country` by the local school. He was not happy.
