    Fantastic!!: - Best county ever especially my home town of which I love!! it is near enough to Dublin to have all the facilities of the capital city, yet it is far enough away to be in the country, the sea, mountains, scenery, etc. I think there is no better place to live, but supposed am biased, as grew up here and there is "no place like home"....
    Also, it is very accessible now to everywhere with the N11 linked up to the M50, etc. :D:D

    Bad: - commuting to town....AWWWWFUL - I hate it! A lot to be said for working locally! and getting home from town comfortably on a night out without breaking the bank! I cannot think of anything else I don't like about the county! (Oh... and maybe the harbour being changed in Greystones) :(:(

    :cool:

    Favourite thing about it: It's Home!

    Least favourite thing.. they way people can't say Wicklow or Arklow without replacing the ow with an a and sound like they've their nose pinched. Also the lack of anything to do in my hometown for my age group!

    Best: Its rural but close enough to Dublin to go to gigs, shops, etc

    Worst: That the fact its close to Dublin means a) its full of blow ins and b) I've to commute

    Oh and house prices.

    That bull**** really pisses me off. You'd swear this was like the league of gentlemen or something

    "This is a local shop for local people"
