Comedian Jasper Carrot is a funny dude from Birmingham - the English
city of Birmingham, that is. He has a very strong accent, typical of
the Midlands, and a very expressive face, typical of rubber-faced
balding comedians the world over. His funny stories are based on all
sorts of everyday subjects that reflect the life experience of a
typical English working class bloke.

Jasper Carrot talks about the staff (or is it plant life?) who work in
Argos, a catalog store, and Woolworth, a dying chain of department
stores famous many years ago for stack it high, and sell it cheap.
Neither place is renowned for customer service.

The comedian then tackles the delicate issue of London’s dominance over
all other cities in Britain. Jasper Carrot makes a few funny digs at
Liverpool, Manchester and London, finishing with Birmingham which
received the ultimate insult with the chance to host the Eurovision
Song Contest. (This is a Euro-wide competition that makes Pop Idol
auditioners seem like Elvis.)

Jasper Carrot is a comedian featured all over Youtube, so if you
understand his accent, and want to hear good stories about soccer and
other quintessential English culture, check him out.
