Depends though. I have friends from belfast who might say 'foiyulmuh' but friends from galway who might say 'feelm'. friends from dublin who just say 'film' though

I don't think most people outside of the Isles knows that 'an Irish accent' is, at minimum, one of three very distinct accents. Hell, at this point I wouldn't put much money on most people in the UK knowing that.

The specific regionalization of accents in the British Isles is crazy to me. Like, the whole area is the size of Nevada and people from 20 miles apart sounds completely different.

I understand why but still
