Tell us why YOU love the Bostin Black Country
The Black Country, it's bostin', ay it? And we want you to tell us why.
In the run up to Black Country Day next week, we want to hear from you about what makes this area so special.
Maybe it is the Black Country's proud heritage, the way its rich mineral resources allowed it to become the industrial powerhouse which shaped the modern world. It could be the area's rich tradition, or its warm inviting pubs. Or maybe it is just simply the inherent friendliness of the Black Country's diverse but close-knit communities.
Whatever the reason, we want your tweets on why the Black Country is such a great place to live.
Tell us why, and say it loud – Black Country and proud.
We want to hear your Black Country accents, loud and and proud. Film yourself reciting these brief lines and upload them to Star Witness, for the chancce to win £100.
