True Story

threebeards

As the title suggests, this is a hand on heart true story but only that it happened to me today, I'd probably have difficulty believing it myself.

I took a call today from a marketing company that had called twice already this week. A young guy with a Dublin 4 accent was the questioner.

At the conclusion of the interview he wanted to some confirmation details on the company.



Interviewer: what is the name of your company?

Me:"Company Name"

I.: Where is that situated.

M: Westport

I: Is that in Wexford or somewhere

M: No Mayo.

I: Is that in Ulster or Leinster somewhere….

M: Are you from Ireland?

I: Yes. What county is Mayo in

M: Are you taking the piss.

I: No. We need to know for our records. I’m not good at geography.

M: Are you really from Ireland?

I: Yes…. I’m from.........DUBLIN.


For the Dubs reading this, I'm not taking the piss, and I'm not trying speak ill of you all but it just shows that some people in Dublin have no idea of what's beyond Wicklow and Kildare.

So where the **** is Mayo?

matt-dublin

you still didn't tell him where mayo is!

Not knowing where mayo is is a blessing, you were right not to tell him.

I heard my granda talk about this place called 'Mayo'. It sounds really scary, he talked of men who drive around fields in vans with huge tyres who make love to their sisters.

I once knew a girl from Carrickmacross in Monaghan who upon finding out a friend of mine was from Limerick, proceeded to say "Limerick, wow, that's nice, I've never been in Tipperary before".

After a moments confusion we realised that she thought Limerick was a town in Tipperary and when we explained that Limerick was a county she thought we were taking the piss and refused to believe us until we found an atlas...

it just goes to show that stupidity and ignorance exists in all parts of Ireland really.

I blame the Government

I'm beginning to spot a pattern, limerick, mayo, cork(put in for completeness), the cunning government are leaving out the shitholes.

Why would anyone put a business in Mayo? All the staff would have to drive from Dublin through almost 2 hours of unpopulated wilderness to get there.

Mayo is a sandwich ingredient isn't it!

No on a more serious note. My girlfriend once worked with a guy who had only been outside of Dublin once in his 34 years in this coutry.

He had been on international holidays nut never ventured outside Dublin to explore other counties.

Bit uncalled for tbh, you should read your history a bit more and you may discover that quite a few of those lads in'16 were our country cousins!

A friend of mine was in a pub in Dublin last year when Mayo were playing Dublin (All Ireland semi final I think). After the national anthem, one girl turned around and said - Are they not going to play the other teams Anthem aswell??

Ha!!!
