Want to share this you all. I'm afraid some of the non British readers will not "get it". But for the Brits, i think you will enjoy.

Her accent is from the area known as "Black Country". This is the area around South Staffordshire / Wolverhampton. It is called this as it's the birthplace of the industrial revolution. The area in the mid 1800'2 was home to coal mines, steel foundries and factories. There was a high level of pollution from black soot from these heavy industries.

I'm from the West Midlands and locally we call people from the Black Country, Yam Yams.

Yam all right is a popular saying. :D

Interesting how much can behind a comedy if you do a bit a research......I never understood why my english friends dont like britney or others but in my opinion you can tell something about the culture thanks to this comedys..It make you look deeper into it...Even this Doreen has lot's to tell about the culture....the eccent, how benefit works and how people feel protected by a good political system and enviroment...For many may sound like a parasite way of life but I see it in a different prospective and it's a prospective which I would love to see in Italy as well....Without familys power we would be doomed, our governament is totally corrupted but if could laugh about doreen way of life it means we are safe
