“Dere’s more to Ireland dan dis”.
love the big Major Cigarette sign outside of Macken's ! 😆😆
That TI girl has a lovely lilting voice.
A different world
They didn't say what the pikeman statue really commemorates, but they mentioned Cromwell.
love the awkward interviews - saved by the utter professionalism of Judith Chalmers. BUT when it rains - best to be in Spain!
Indeed. It wasn't "On the spot " though - The WYWH team would have done a "recce" maybe two or three weeks before filming. Anybody featured in the programme would have been asked if they were willing to be interviewed on camera for the show beforehand. If they agreed, a specific time and date would be arranged that was suitable for everyone. Also Judith probably did a rehearsal with anybody who appeared in the show before they filmed the interview.
@@mistofoles Been working in TV for almost 20 years so of course know how it works but even with the rehearsals - as you have updated -
it did feel awkward
@@derekogilvie6942 So I was basically right with my summary then ? :D - I didn't know you worked in TV . I don't, but I am very interested in the logistics of production.
@@mistofoles You were very correct on how a production would run in regards to this type of programming.
Disagree, they seemed normal to me
best county in Ireland...don't tell anyone i told you
I prefer donegal
Wex isbest county ever!
Definitely. Where my mam and dad were from❤
Delightful
Wexford is like the 'Kent' of Ireland - strawberry land
Wexford has changed quite in the 46 years since this documentary was made.
Has it? What's changed.
@@ajs41 the rain is warmer
Lol Mary is putting on her poshest voice like my mum on the telephone!
Is this the family featured in the new Dept of Education SPHE textbook..??
wow, life was so different back then, i worked with children in tourist resort this summer and parents were giving them tablets and phones to play with and to silence them, wihle the parents went out and about to have fun
Im liking the accents. Is the chap at 8.30 English ? Sounds like a very posh anglicised Irish accent.
Sounds like an Irishman who has lived in England for quite a while
Well he looks Irish, with a Name Murray, chances are he is Irish, good man Michael, 👍
@@johnkelly9463 Thanks John I went on a trip to Kerry many moons ago and I met several Husseys and one good fella Michael Hussey and we shared our admiration for Aussie cricketer Michael Hussey , I must be a wee bit Irish at least I hope so .
He's got a bit of an English twang, this is my home and our accents are different
@@Niall-Dunbar answer above in response to remark.
"Sunny South East" being a relative term
I'd like to have that Volvo at 2:39
Agreed. But the Cortina behind it is more iconic for the 70s.
We’re the hell is St. George’s Channel
South of the Irish Sea - in between south Wales and Wexford
At 20 seconds, the cleverest man in Ireland
interesting as Ireland has the highest rate of university education in the world..It is why we are prosperous
"cleverest"... ha
seething britbong
Its Cockney Rhyming Slang Waxfard styler
Nice pants, Judith !
man old times were something else tbh
A lot better than today
So...if you weren't happy with your hotel, you could complain to the TI and they would endeavour to get you a refund ? - Fair enough if your complaint was genuine, but surely that's setting a precedent for people who enjoyed their stay, but invented a complaint anyway, so they basically could get a free holiday ?
Hang on one sec.. in the intro she claims that Irish folklore music and dance was inspired by a crew of a cornish Ship wreck 500 years ago.. seriously ? ..
Nah she said that about the origins of Wexford mumming, not Irish folklore music altogether 🇮🇪☘🎵 up the yellowbellies
Saint George was from Turkey/Constantinople
Not a "contrail" in the Sky in any of these
St George’s channel 🙄does she not mean the Irish Sea 🤷♂️
Nope. St George's channel is a stretch of water that lies south of the Irish sea between Wexford and Wales. Continue further south and you have the Celtic sea.
Beautiful Ireland ..back when Ireland was Irish .. unfortunately now with the advent of Afro-Saxon community the beauty and charm has faded somewhat.
What do you mean?, Who are the Afro- Saxon community!!
Afros arefine Its the saxons that are dodgy
@@margaretnesbeth593 a tribe of leprechauns
Not a Wexford accent to be heard?
No subtitles back then
The possessive sack serendipitously manage because dorothy bareilly connect about a resolute expert. enchanting, dull parrot
Could you put that in English please?
Dafuk?
Sapawompo! Mantiba kasitu famba! Gadi wati sintaka lafaba. Wompo ripanapu koloti fandi ‘parrot’ bandidi!
@@jamesrogers5277 Eh ?
Sna laethanta sin bhí Éire an-choimeádach, bhí ginmhilleadh agus homaighnéasachas i gcoinne an dlí agus ní aithneofaí coscaradh freisin. Bhí inimirce an-íosal freisin.
(8:30) "The people in the house" look after your kids while you duck down the pub for an hour or so.
🤔Did you catch someone's name, by chance, before you walked out?
You know, a phone number, perhaps..
