Surely the Welsh were already in Britain by the time Paul was writing his letters.

The only off pronunciation I ran across was Youghal ... a town in SE.You shouuld have no trouble with Youghal Locals get their amusement from the various ways the tourists mangle their town's name - Y'all. (Or yawl) if you are of a seafaring bent.)

You say "Howsa' goin" all the time 2. You can't remember a weekend when a friend from Dublin or Cork was'nt sleeping on your couch 3. When you meet someone on Tuesday afternoon you tell them you haven't been out in ages then remember that you were chatting to that same person last night in the Quays 4. You agree with all taxi drivers on all subjects - why bother getting thick 5. Unless the taxi driver is from Mayo 6. Unless, like half the population living in Galway, you're from Mayo 7. When you say you live in Galway, people immediately smile and tell you about their wild weekend in Salthill when they were 16 You nod enthusiastically about the same venue, despite the fact that you were never there 8. You think that it's perfectly normal to have six buskers (including an Ethopian bagpipe player), eight street entertainers, 19 Romanian beggers, a krusty holding some bailing twine tied to a raggedy dog telling fortunes and four separate roadworks all on the one street Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
