Talking bollocks there.
definition is below so bring is perfectly acceptable use
‘take or go with (someone or something) to a place.’

FACK off with your brummie ****e. can't stand the place.
Used to work with a lazy arsed brummie who was a regular at villa park and he was a total **** head.
I think I can speak for saint. He'd 'bring' them if he was already there. He's 'take' them if they were all going together
Saint?
Not necessarily true. If he was being interviewed in Spain about a move to Birmingham and asked whether his family would join him, he could quite correctly say 'yes I'm going to Birmingham and I will bring my family with me '.I think I can speak for saint. He'd 'bring' them if he was already there. He's 'take' them if they were all going together
In another context - 'yes I'm going to the party and I will bring the beer'.
I suppose so, but a little convoluted.
"yes I'm going to Birmingham and I will take my family with me"
Although, I'd say... "yes I'm going to Birmingham and my family will be coming with me"
Computer privileges at the retirement home today I see.
Mods can't tag.
Generally I would use bring if it was to where I am - take if elsewhere. "Please bring me a drink and take one to him over there".
To me, bring does suggest you are in the target place, but I think it's more a convention than a rule.
From Spain to Birmingham is bringing them closer as well, so mito's usage didn't bother me.
I have an Irish friend who would say something like "My car's being repaired, will you bring me to the garage to pick it up". That definitely sounds wrong.
If we both did one of those online 'fill in the gap/ complete the sentence' type questionnaires with various forms of to bring or to take e.g 'bring' 'brought' 'took' 'taken', we would both likely get all the same answers and all correct. Sometimes though in practice, we each have a personal way of using the seemingly 'wrong' word.
I'm sure there are people in some parts of the country who will say bringaway instead of takeaway.
