    I think it was absolutely awful.

    Who the hell wants to listen to a bunch of scumbag kids from the 1960s?

    Totally uninteresting and way overrated.

    I heard they all grew up to be fine pillars of the community and moved to Sallynoggin where they raised children who as young adults became addicted to internet message boards.

    Just what I heard, mind.

    I thought it was a genuine article, though, a bit like Brendan O Carroll, it was appropriated by middle class gob****es out in Montrose and turned into something it wasn't, namely a pompous celebration of a childhood which, if Frank McCourt and the lefties in RTE are to be believed, was not all that feckin sweet to begin with.

    Nonsense. Very one dimensional attitude to have. My dad grew up around this time and area. He said that it wasnt a 'scumbag' accent but an accent from working class Dublin at the time that has now almost disappeared.
