Re: Ford vs Ferrari
One of the few films I've watched lately that I've enjoyed enough to watch again ...... and subsequently bought the DVD
Ok, you can nitpick some of the detail, as ever with a film of this genre, but it gets the spirit of the deal across well
The guy who plays Henry II (I think he was in 'Fargo' as well) really nails it
Ken Miles was born a few miles down the road from me, and even the 'Brummie' accents by Bale and the leading lady are passable

Dave ....... binya arhkid
Birmingham, or 'Brummigem' colloquially, hence the name
There are at least a hundred dialects within about a twenty five mile radius ....... 'Black Country' & 'Yam-Yam' being the other better known ...... all much of a muchness to the untrained ear, but woe betide anyone who calls an 'Ocker Bonk' native a 'Brummie' even though it's less than ten miles from the city centre
AIUI Ken Miles was born south of Brum, so chances are he would have had a softer dialect, not as 'thick' as in the film ...... but that's splitting hairs and it's a change to hear something familiar without it being a parody
Anyway .......

Re: Ford vs Ferrari
If I remember my schooling Birmingham was where the industrial revolution more or less began.
Also got the heck bombed out of it in WW2.
Interesting that Birmingham, Pennsylvania became a center for steel production here.

Re: Ford vs Ferrari
Yes, more or less ..... some would put it 'down the road' at Coalbrookdale ..... but it took off in BrumDave Koehler wrote:If I remember my schooling Birmingham was where the industrial revolution more or less began.
Not so much, Coventry had it worse, although we had regular raidsAlso got the heck bombed out of it in WW2
Birmingham was mostly known as a 'metal bashing' town, there were smelters on every corner hundred years ago, but a lot of 'steel' came in from Wales and the Rother valleyInteresting that Birmingham, Pennsylvania became a center for steel production here
Interestingly, Brum has a much bigger canal network than Venice ..... don't see too many gondoliers plying their trade around here though, lol ......
