All of the best things started in Birmingham - the Industrial Revolution, tennis, Cluedo, the works. Even rhyming slang was adopted in our great city, according to historian Carl Chinn.

He says we had our own unique lingo, particularly among market traders well before and Cockneys pulled their Alums up and got on with it. While the Cockneys had apples and pears for stairs, Brummies went up the dancers, from dancing bears.
