I have always thought that to be considered "Irish" you have to have been born in the Republic of Ireland, and that if you were born in NI you are a British Subject.

I like a group of singers called Celtic Thunder - one of the guys said their name on a YouTube clip recently.

He pronounced it as Celtic T(h)under. There is something endearing about the Irish habit of dropping their 'H's.

You mean like tirty tree?

[cazzz1975]

my dad calls tree's "three's"

[wolf63]

Yes - but it doesn't make the person saying the word sound very bright.

I live in central Scotland - some of the accents 'up north' are strong.

I remember somebody say to me "furryboots yae fae?"





It means " where to you come from".

Now the Scots have to speak slowly to me, I find them hard to understand.
