I'm Irish, of English parents, and was brought up on BBC Radio 4. I have an odd hybrid accent. I'm often asked how long I've been living in Ireland; people don't believe me when I say I was born here.

I learned Irish and French in school and have, really, forgotten both. I don't live in a part of Ireland where Irish is commonly spoken.
