    Ok..I have been reading through a lot of the bargain alerts threads and one thing that really strikes me is the number of "bargain alerts" which turn into into a "hey it's cheaper up north". For a lot of the country it is not feasible to travel to the north to save a tenner on something so an awful lot of threads become useless to a lot of people as various offers available in the North are then discussed. Obviously a lot of people have an interest in these offers as they are in a position to travel but not everyone.

    As a suggestion could we get a dedicated forum for Northern bargains or something like that, and restrict the actual bargain alerts forum to bargains available in this country or on internet sites who deliver to Ireland?

    I know there is already a thread in the forum itself about general shopping in the north so maybe that would cover it although various other threads still become cluttered with the same stuff.

    I think a subforum for NI bargains attached to the bargains forum would be great

    That's a bit silly seeing as for some it would be easier/quicker to go to the north than Cork. Gobble Gobble Gobble, I'm a turkey.
