I'll most likely never go back as much as I'd like to, I lost my accent and even today if people found out my parents were one of each faith it would not be safe for me.
I've spoken over the years via email with one of the family friend, my brothers mate as he was and he says its safe but I'm not willing to take that risk. Most people believe I'm either Police or ex Army because of my look and nature which makes me a bit unpopular because of the old bill link even though I've point blank told them I've never been either.
Imagine that mix up over there, "he's an ex British soldier", my balls would be toast and its no use saying I used to live in Milltown on The Terraces because my accent is wrong.
