I’m just back from Bonnie Scotland (Bute), where even more than rural Ireland you find yourself in conversation with the locals. I was asked by many a person where my accent hailed from and I said Dublin. I didn’t quite like to say middle Dublin when they praised my way of speaking, but I did discuss that there were a couple of types of Dublin accent including “the one where people have great difficulty pronouncing the letter t when it doesn’t come at the start of a word”. I even mentioned we have a radio presenter, paid about a third of a million sterling, who gets away with speaking like this on the national broadcaster
