GUEST,Georgina Boyes Sheffiels/Irish accents - a connection? (18) RE: Sheffiels/Irish accents - a connection? 20 Nov 11

I was born and lived almost all my life to date in Sheffield and Rotherham and can't think of even the remotest similarity between Dee-Dahs and north or south Irish accents.

I'm not sure what Big Al means about 'mills' either. Spinning and weaving weren't Sheffield industries (that was further west in Yorkshire), steel-making, cutlery and holloware and engineering were - and to some extent - still are major employers.
