Edited sentence: There are many popular missconceptions over how people of the city of Birmingham actually "tork.These actors usually play the boring role or dumb loser role, the irony with Auf Wiedersehen Pet is that the true Brummie actor was the 6'5 tall former professional wrestler known as Bomber aka Big Pat Roach.This myth is driven primarily by the use of certain actors that are not from the city or region but are forced to learn a similar type of accent, like for instance Benny from Cross Roads or Barry from Auf Wiedersehen Pet.Today a prime example of inaccurate almost purposeful abuse of the supposed Brummie accent is on the Halifax bank adverts, a former black bank worker from the city was used initially to promote the Bank and it's new services, unfortunately his real Birmingham accent was shelved and over-dubbed to create an irritating almost imbecilic accent, this kind of abuse of the accent is fortunately ignored by most people but does tend to create an unfair bias or loathing of the accent by certain un- educated members of the British public
