This is true about parts of Newfoundland. I remember seeing an old RTE show from the 70s or 80s where the presenter was out on a fishing boat with a man form Newfoundland and the presenter asked had he ever heard of a place called Wexford. He had heard of it but never been. He had a quare'in strong accent though. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12452 - 03/04/2009 14:02:46 247435 Link 0 |

I lived in Toronto for 3 years and visited St.Johns Newfoundland, St Paddy's day 2003, you may as well have been in a pub back in the 'ole' country. Very nice, honest people and yes they spoke with a Waterford/Wexford accent. Many fly the tri-colour and a little history lesson, Newfoundland didn't join Canada until 1949, the year the 'Free State' became a 26 county Republic!
