True.
As i often say...There is English and then there is Belfast English :-)
There are so many regional variations in the UK alone that it's impossible to have any sort of standard.
I was on Holiday in the Czech Republic a few years ago and was chatting to the receptionist at the Hotel i was staying in. She told me that of all the English accents she had heard that mine was the hardest to understand.
I guarantee that if you met me you would have great difficulty in understanding anything i said. We use a lot of slang in Northern Ireland and even it varies according to what region of the country you are in.
