Yes, I have met a few Newfoundlanders who are fast talkers, and in the Canadian Forces, I had on guy from Fogo, who I wouldn't let anywhere near the communications equipment, as no one could understand him, if he got going too fast . A great guy, otherwise. Full of fun and jokes, most of which went right over my head, (grin).
For those that can get the Canadian version of Discovery channel, keep an eye out for a new program, called "Cold Water Cowboys " about Newfoundland coastal fishermen. It is a nice departure from most of the "reality TV shows " in that the boys are real people, who aren't doing dumb stuff ( like Duck Dynasty ) and their day to day work is interesting, and some times dangerous, and the conversations are fascinating to try to understand. Some times, they run captions on screen to reveal what is being said.
