what do you think of Cork people 1984

recorded in Dublin 1984 Question: "What do you think of Cork people"?? some interesting comments for the time

[@maplebanks]

There are two types of people in this world,those who are from Cork and those who wish they were.

[@nessonmackay6259]

Well yeah my mom lives in county cork and I am going to live there soon. I wish it will soon recover from the covid 19 crisis. God bless cork

[@steviegcork]

Great work again!

[@Skylikeday]

Strange. I'm Swedish and I understood West Cork accents perfectly when I moved there. Maybe the melody of my mother tongue is more similar to it than the "national" Irish accent.

[@smorrow]

Well that's interesting because the first foreign woman (0:51) is definitely Swedish IMO and she also doesn't report any difficulty.

[@davidlittle7182]

@@smorrow I had to listen again. Agree, but I'd like to have heard her speak more to confirm. The long 'a' was Swedish, but I didn't get to hear any soft 's's

I was over on a visit 1996 this time. Went into a pub called the Cork Arms.Fantasic time . Remember in the back table there was a family there. looked like hippies dreadlocks and all .Semmed out of place these lot were.Didnt cause any trouble .But the m an next me says there just a bunch of crusties.The way he said it was effing funny.

[@DSDMovies]

There are people in my own family from West Cork that I can't understand. The rural accent is a thing by itself. I remember once wondering if my grandmother and her friend were even speaking English to each other. Turns out they were.

[@conoramphlett2228]

Same. Went to see family in the Clonakilty/Skibbereen area and they might as well have been speaking Spanish for all I understood.

[@pottypranks8628]

It's yourself Neil is it lol

[@Metal-Possum]

AH! Ardal O'Hanlon was right, they are constantly smiling!

[@mvcork]

Touché biy, touché..;]

[@MrHighgate123]

All people in cork think about is how much they drink or how much they eat full stop.

[@bulcyob]

I am a Cork man. and to be fair the west Cork accent is very alien to me! I can understand them but just barely! I imagine that's how anyone in Ireland sounds when they live in the little villages. its nice to see old footage on here :)

[@manus3203]

+cattlewrangler Calm down man. From someone who lived in both Cork city and county I can say there's benifets for both. Personally I prefer living in the city but that's just me

[@BaileyCork]

She said " why do you say they are horrible people" He said "cause they're next to Kerry and they beat us in the All Ireland"

[@elsewho]

Ah yes 1984, when dublin was at least a day away.the good ole days.

[@morninglory112]

what did the old fella say at the start when everyone was laughing?

[@muintir]

Wondering if she got them choppers fixed yet?

[@RebsArmy]

1:34 That's my Dad

[@mattvl6023]

he was young right? how old is now? hmmm I am not a native speaker of English , and it is too difficult to understand his accent...

[@RebsArmy]

He was in his mid 20's, and in the interview my dad was trying to put on a Cork accent. In reality he would have had a strong Dublin north side accent, he was just making fun of Cork people, since at the time they were taking jobs on Dubliners. And hes about 59 years old now.

[@AbsoluteDarbage]

a nice race of people....didnt realise being from cork made you a different race..

[@Shammy381]

Up the rebel county

[@kommissar.murphy]

holy shit is that aphex twin at 1:40 ?

[@bupkes00]

Glad to hear you can afford a dentist when other people can't, but could you perhaps explain the relevance of a woman's appearance to her opinion of your sing-song accent?

[@corkairportspotting7164]

everything negative said there is 100% UN-TRUE!! Cork people are great boy!!

[@geroutathat]

What "outsiders" think, says it all.

[@foleybarbarian]

The first one never saw a dentist in her life

[@Lungsy1988]

Wow, people have changed so much in the past 30 years lol

[@djsmithy]

@ 2:09 "They lie a lot here in Dublin anyway.... because they take work on the Dublin people like yanno!!!" Jesus that poor woman must be spinning in her grave these days, with the amount of non-nationals immigrating!

[@Nonteetotalist]

I still can't work out if 2:13 is a man or a woman.

[@delacaravanio]

You've obviously never been...

[@djrojd]
