| Stopped being (as) vague Full Member   Gender: yes Orientation: up the bender Out Status: burned Narnia :D Location: Norn Iron Age: 17 Posts: 1,547 Join Date: Nov 2009 |  St. Patrick spoke with a Ballymena accent It's very true because St. Patrick was born in wales, then as you should know he was abducted by pirates, this was very common as Irish pirates commonly raided the welsh coast and took prisoners. Now as you should know the Patrick's family were poor and so in those days if they couldn't get ransom out of you, they sold you on as a slave to whoever would buy you. As it happens St. Patrick was sold to a pig farmer and there, as he spoke welsh-Gaelic, he would have to have learned Irish-Gaelic, and so he would have picked up a Ballymena accent as the farm he worked on was in Ballymena (a large town/city in the north of Ireland and has a very distinct ulster-scotts accent). There is something wrong with that statement, can you guess what it is (P.S. Google may help)
