precisely the one Bingley is questioning
Well, he's going about it the wrong way then.
Surely the Welsh were already in Britain by the time Paul was writing his letters.
JESUS: They shall have the earth...
GREGORY: What was that?
JESUS: ...for their possession. How blest are those...
MR. CHEEKY: I don't know. I was too busy talking to Big Nose.
JESUS: ...who hunger and thirst to see...
MAN #1: I think it was 'Blessed are the cheesemakers.'
JESUS: ...right prevail.
MRS. GREGORY: Ahh, what's so special about the cheesemakers?
GREGORY: Well, obviously, this is not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
Jackie, In Ireland you will be OK. 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.)
A little something to look into before we go

From the site:
SIGNS YOU'VE BEEN IN GALWAY TOO LONG
1. 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
