    It's mam, always has been until people wanted to sound like they came from anywhere but Ireland

    Blatantly untrue. There's many different forms of addressing mater - doesn't somehow make you less than Irish or ashamed of the country :rolleyes:

    Ach, people speak different ways - it's the outside influences creeping in - that's always the way. You probably don't remember when Neighbours first started airing and people started to talk like this and raise their voice as if asking a questions at the end of the sentence? :D
