Well said!

Mind you... A few days ago I was walking out from the picturesque village of Clarinbridge, here in Galway. The traffic was badly backed up because there was a community market in the town on a lovely sunny day (one of the few we've had this year!). Anyway, a woman stuck in the traffic wound down her car window and, in an Irish accent, addressed me thus: "Excuse me. Do you speak English?"! Now, I was wearing a rather fetching Breton-style jumper at the time - but I'd no beret, never mind onions around my neck! I replied "Jeez, I hope so - me mother'd be fierce disappointed otherwise!".
