I have no idea Redway, why do you do that? Last time I pointed out to you that I wasn't British, I believe you said it was the same thing or I know what you mean or something? It's rude and it's offensive

Dutch, our accent from the province North-Brabant we live in is Brabants with soft G

in the south of Netherlands, yes it is called north-brabant but you have a south-brabant which is in Belgium

Are you really this desperate to make a point about Ireland being a law onto itself?

What does that even mean? "A Law onto itself"? We're not part of Britain therefore we're a foreign country to Britain, as foreign as any other country that isn't part of Britain. What part of that is confusing to you?

No comment on the point I made then? Just a passive aggressive sound bite? Next time you make one of these Polls, maybe have a think about it a bit more unless you are actually doing it to be a dick?

I restricted foreign to outside the British Isles on the poll out of convenience. Specifying non-British Isles as opposed to non-British was already me trying not to limp in Irish people with Brits.

You can go even more pedantic on me all you like though.

If you were Irish you wouldn't think it was pedantic. Do you think it actually annoys me or I'm just looking for an argument? I'm telling you it's something that I find insulting as an Irish person and you're telling me that I'm nit picking. That's pretty rude.

Calling me a dick isn’t that flattering either.

I didn't actually call you a dick though, I said maybe have a think about it next time you are doing a Poll like this unless you're trying to be a dick, in which case you won't obviously

Lancastrian but that is different to mancunian and Yorkshire so not sure why all those 3 accents have been lumped together. I have a slight Liverpudlian twang though as my family is from there

Welsh, I wish it was a stronger accent cause people from Cardiff don’t sound that ‘welshy’
