Errata (Dialects)

BlueJ just pointed out that there is a pocket of the Newfoundland population which retain a pronounced Waterford twang, albeit with other influences. And, of course, I spent last Easter with a group of Australian nuns living in the Chianti whose accents were certainly closer to the Australian accent of the period (1960) when they left Australia than to anything else.
