Imagine not being from Cork. It must be absolute shite.
In corner shop in Tooting with a NZ friend who wanted to buy clothes pegs, he asked the Pakistani shop owner if he had any, of course when he was saying pegs it sounded like pigs, so after asking several times for what sounded like closed pigs and my friend making gestures like he’s pegging something to a line the shop owner was getting visibly angry and nearly pushed him out of the shop while shouting in another language.
