    English pronunciation is divided into two main accent groups, the rhotic and non-rhotic, depending on when the phoneme (the letter "r") is pronounced. Rhotic speakers pronounce written "r" in all positions (although many rhotic speakers omit it in French loan words where "r" is silent, such as dossier). Non-rhotic speakers pronounce "r" only if it is followed by a vowel (see "linking R"). In linguistic terms, non-rhotic accents are said to exclude in the syllable coda. This is commonly referred to as post-vocalic "r", although that term can be misleading because not all r's that occur after vowels are excluded in non-rhotic English.


    Al is from Drogheda, which is apparently a non-rhotic area of Ireland, and so he fits the above profile of non-rhotic accents... bruddah and tree ,etc...

    my brain hurts at this time of night :(

    O gifted men, vainglorious for first place,
    how short a time the laurel crown stays green

    A breath of wind is all there is to fame
    here upon earth: it blows this way and that,
    and when it changes quarter it changes name.

    potatoes kinda mashed and stuff and then flattened into a circle and cut into quarters... lovely fried, grilled or just cold with a wee bit of butter on them!!
