I like the song though, The Rose of Tralee. When we were in Ireland last year, the Rose of Tralee pageant was on TV.

I'm thinking that a lot of Yorkshire/Lancashire people must have ended up in new England. When George pronounced "dart," he said, "daht." and when he said "bar," he pronounced it as "bah." If that isn't broad New England, I don't know what is. Yorkshire/Lancashire....hmm.....isn't that the War of the Roses?
