That’s not West Mids, the Macc Lads are from Macclesfield in Cheshire (hence the name). They speak in a northwestern dialect with some similarities to the Manchester accent which is dominant in that region.

West Mids is Black Sabbath, Judas Priest etc. An interview with Rob Halford or Tony Iommi would give you a stereotypical west mids accent. I wouldn’t say Ozzie because his accent is some strange amalgamation of west mids, US, drugs and booze!
