Stanley Ellis sets out on more of Britain's linguistic B-roads. 4: Broad Talk in Belfast 'Belfast people are very spontaneous and that is part of our trouble: they fall out quickly but they make it up quickly. The accent, too, is paradoxical: in one sense it is aggressive and harsh; in another, warm and humorous and friendly.'
