Yes, of course the West Midlands. There are a few villages, mostly
in Warwickshire and Staffordshire, where Albic (though not Old Albic,
the language has changed a lot in the past 2500 years) is still spoken
today. Other Albic communities exist in Wales, parts of Scotland
and in Co. Donegal, Ireland. There may be even more elsewhere
I haven't found out yet.
Perhaps you hit upon one of those communities ;-)
