Thread Name: My god, is he still alive!
Subject: RE: My god, is he still alive!
Sliabh Luachra a cultural area in the South West of Ireland has a reputation for longevity in its inhabitants. One day, I was enquiring of an elderly resident the validity of this reputation.
"Is it true" I said "that people in these parts live a long life"
"It is" he replied, "the men live to a great age, and the women live forever!"
