    Friendly Irish? a dying breed unfortunately.

    The silly rubbish that exists here today is i'm from one part of Ireland and your from another.. At the end of the day we're on the one road. (sure aren't we all Irish anyway)



    Romantic Ireland's dead and gone,
    It's with O'Leary in the grave.

    I'm thinking she didn't spot the irony of her statement...

    Damn right. Just this morning I ran a few fuzzy wuzzies through.
    :eek:

    Seriously, I don't Irish people are that racist. As for friendly, I hadn't noticed. I'm usually too busy ignoring people who try to talk to me.

    Whereas places like, say, Cork are full of open-minded, friendly people who aren't bitter and don't have massive chips on their shoulder.

    Doesn't sound like it's Cork people who have a chip on their shoulder about something, to be honest....

    I find the 20 to 40 something generation of now to be quiet friendly, the cities a bit more friendly and open minded, ruralites tending to be a bit more wary of outsiders and "blow ins". I find the over fifties of today to be pretty rude, queue skipping, rude driving and with a bit of a chip on the shoulder. I find the under 20's to be very confident and quiet friendly.

    A friend of mine also experimented in Dublin to see how many people he had to say hello to in the street before someone would say hello back

    Your friend is silly, Dublin is a big city, if we acknowledged every single person we would be saying hello over and over again every second. Same goes for all big cities.
