Be nice if they forgot Galway or Limerick for a change, instead of Waterford... :rolleyes:

I think they should just use random village names instead of citys...hmmm but then I suppose other villages will get upset, oh well can't win!

Surprised the Kilkenny city mob aren't on here complaining!

frankly the Kilkenny City Mob (speaking as an individual) thinks it's very funny how you guy's are always so uptight and sooo upset about being left out... It's like watching 5yr old kids that don't get there way

Oh come on, if they were naming towns with medieval castles in them and Kilkenny was always left out you lot would be up in arms.

There aren't an unlimited or large number of cities in the country. To have all but one named on a continuous basis is going to be frustrating for the inhabitants of that city. (please lets not start talking about what the cities are, we've really *done* that...)

Yeah - like your home City Mossy. No point in ignoring this. It's typical of the treatment meted out to Waterford in recent years. It's all too easy to sit back. It's not too long ago that, when WRTC was upgraded to IT status, that people elsewhere (Cork in particular) caused uproar, resulting in all all RTCs being upgraded to IT status.

Are you suggesting that they should have ignored that as well? We could learn something from them - like getting yourrself heard. As a city with a full cabinet minister we are still without:

1. A motorway link to Dublin (which now appears to have been sidelined in favour of the three other cities on the Nissan ad;) ).

2. A runway extension and proper funding of Waterford Airport.

3. No proper radiotherapy service.

:mad:

And that is my point Merlante. This is an ongoing problem, and is symptomatic of the discrminiation practiced against Ireland's oldest City.

If you wish to lodge a complaint to the ad, the address is:

If you think it's childish to call people up on this sort of thing then you're a fool.

You have a short memory. Do you not remember the days when nobody gave a **** what people thought, and nobody made any noise when Waterford was forgotten about or left out? People are sick of the poor profile and visibility Waterford has gotten as a result of this.

Like it or lump it, Waterford has a poor profile nationally, and that makes it very hard to get infrastructure, investment, jobs, etc. in Waterford. We are suffering for the sins of the past. People are just reacting to that. You have a city of 50,000 people that half the country is unaware exists: that is not a good thing for those 50,000 people!

You have to draw a line somewhere.

your the only dragging us back to that subject that's not what I'm commenting on Kilkenny is passed over and forgotten about just as much as Waterford as is Tipperary as is Leitrim as is Rosscommon should I go on.

The point is your ALL a little hypersensitive.

I declare war on Nissan. But then again come on... it's only a bloody advertisement, who cares.

Yeah, and it's a bad point. Isin't there some other board you can go on to complain about hypersensitive Waterford people? :rolleyes:

I agree Waterford does have a poor profile... and it time something was done

Sorry if I upset you. But it is funny

kensutz

Even a Waterford person agrees with Trish about people being hypersensitive. I wonder who said it in the first place :rolleyes:

trishw78

ssshhh they might think I'm paying you

kensutz

You are, well not really you've threatened to beat me up when you see me again.

You could find Waterford people to agree with all sorts of things. Go to Kerry and suggest it isin't the nicest county in the country, or tell the langers they have a stupid accent, and you'll see another scale of hypersensitivity. :rolleyes:
