It's the morning after the night before and Hughie and Evelyn are attempting to educate Sam in all things Aussie and Irish, but how does Sam fare at his own national anthem?

Why is Hughie in most of these clips, shows who BB want to win.

I'm surprised Sam and Hughie manage to wipe their own bumholes.

Surely there's more than one accent in Australia.

I can't imagine someone from the far north of Queensland would sound exactly the same as someone from Sydney

Yes. She's talking nonsense.

Was gonna laugh at Sam not knowing the English national anthem but they I realised I didn't actually know the words either.

It's like there were competing to see who could pretend to be the biggest eejit

This might help

This has got me thinking - why are there so many different dialects in the UK?

Possible because various parts of the country were in the past controlled by various foreign invaders

Thanks!

The accents derived from the accents of the English transported there.

Is it wrong that I thought Hughies accent was a Dublin one? I I guess not. A bit shocked Sam doesn't know the national anthem. Not so much Hughie with the Irish one. If he doesn't know a lot of his language it would be difficult.

I thought Australia had a much bigger difference in terms of accents.

He lives in Dublin and comes from a strict Irish traveller background and has lived on and off traveller sites all his life, they have an accent shelta I think?

I always "hear" you with an Italian accent - please tell me I am right

There's only a few parts of the Irish Republic where Irish is spoken to any degree as a first language

In the 2011 census Irish was the main language of only 1% of the population but 10% had some ability to speak it

Hughie doesn't know the Irish national anthem? That surprises me, he has his Leaving Cert, he should know enough Irish to be able to sing Amhrán na bhFiann.

I actually don't have an accent. Was born here. My Mum has an extremely thick one like the mum from the Dolmio adverts

Oh - you have burst the illusion now

Pretty much everybody knows the words to the national anthem in Irish though, even those who didn't get their Leaving Cert. Surprised about Hughie not knowing it.

He sang a few words and hummed a bit more and said 'it's in a different language'. Don't know if that was to mean he didn't know it or just didn't sing it because Evelyn and Sam wouldn't understand

Sorry Should have lied to keep the illusion intact
I'd describe my one as a posh Londoner type of accent.

Maybe it was just that they wouldn't understand then, it would be a bit eyebrow raising if he couldn't manage the chorus at least.

Ha ha - I am a Londoner too but wouldn't say my accent was posh. However I can spell unlike some on here so that is a Brownie point isn't it?

I've lived in Australia and Evelyn is right - there is only one accent really. It's just in the outback, like she said, where the pronouncation of the words is more clear in a way.
