Birmingham is both loved and hated, growing up here makes you feel no different about this city, here are 10 true signs you grew up in Birmingham.
When you go to a different city people can’t understand you, mock you or try so hard to ignore your accent even though you don’t think it’s that bad. The Brummie accent is considered the worst alongside Scouse even though we can’t hear it.
Birmingham is known for the number of restaurants and this probably explains why we love food a little too much.

This is definitely one of the true signs you grew up in Birmingham!
London has Westfield, Manchester has Trafford centre, what do we have? Bullring! I’ll admit that the Grand Central is quite nice but Bullring needs an update…and a food court. This is one of the true signs you grew up in Birmingham!

When we’d walk home from school we’d stop at the chippy for a burger and chips or go to the corner shop to get a Boost drink or Tip Top if it was summer, ahh the good old days.
Cadbury’s World was the one school trip we’d enjoy the most because sometimes they’d give out free chocolate, why else would anyone go? This is yet another one of the true signs you grew up in Birmingham!
