'bout ye fellas
it works both ways we can spot youse too before youse even open yer mouths................. hahahaha
finding out where someone went to school was always a pretty good indicator...........
I remember a fella trying to suss out "what I was" by pretending to need an answer to a crossword puzzle - he "needed" me to spell Johnannesburg - confused him rightly by saying J.o. aitch. ah. n.etc
("a" being another of those letters the two "sides" can pronounce differently) - sticking a prod "h" & a catholic "a" in the same sentence left him in doubt
the next question was " so what school did you go to?" *grin*
Get the DVD "an everlasting piece" it had some good accents,
Hey Seamus fancy a wee coort up the entry big fella?
