'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?
