The Irish accent is hard to shake off. I met a guy in Buenos Aires 35 years ago who had a strong Kilkenny accent. I asked him how long he was in Argentina. He replied quite a few years and added, the family are here too. He said he had to go to language school to learn Spanish. Finally I asked how long exactly have you and your family been here. He thought for a minute and replied since about 1840

@@Edvard.Munchkin oh really that’s pretty interesting I kinda figured young would be common . Maybe hooper and Chubb are English I got a bit of both I think. Thanks for replying too eh

@@caitlinhickey6 I don't believe anyone flipped out on anybody, that is, except for you. All 'daveshen' said was that the country/province has a bloody history and that the Beothuk once inhabited the island to which your response was 'blame the english'. Then you say 'none of us were involved in any of that'. Well none of todays English were involved in any of that either. Daveshen was simply makin a simple point. You read to much into it and flipped it around and now its comin all the way round right back to ya.
Beautiful video, my family roots are in Ireland . Dads side of the family are Murphy's and Moms side of the family are Kelly's. Both sides of the family immigrated to Newfoundland in the early 1800's.

Man crazy how they kept such an uncanny Irish accent for all those centuries.
Amazing that the accent is so unchanged
