As we said, we’d probably be the exact same on our travels and we’re amongst the worst culprits when it comes to pronouncing English words in a foreign accent abroad in the hope that the locals will understand, but at least, to the best of our knowledge, this guy wasn’t planning on visiting Muckanaghederdauhaulia in Galway.
Now that really would have tested him.
