    Can't think why?

    Tourists speed through the place going west.

    (A bit like like that other boring place, Limerick city.)

    The Western Road has the best hotels and B&Bs only because tourists rest there before going on to REALLY interesting places in West Cork and Kerry.

    Not many B&Bs on the EAST side of the city.

    Most tourists in Cork City are usually resting there for the night....going West.

    "Bland" defines Cork City and Limerick City.

    Lots of foreign tour guides agree.
    .

    If you were describing Cork 30 years ago, I'd probably agree.

    You say the REALLY interesting places are in west Cork and Kerry.

    Unless your a pensioner, west Cork and kerry are the boring places.

    You say not many B+Bs on the east side of the city. Not much of anything really on the east side except factories and warehouses.

    Lots of foreign guides may have given a bad review of Cork in the past but the current independent leading travel guide in the world puts it as one of the top places to visit.

    I believe their review over yours.

    Oh ofr f*ck's sake, it should be obvious to anyone with a brain in their head that that was a troll. Replying to them is exactly what they want.

    What, one of these? little bastard. If that was a troll, it wasn't a very good one. Got the impression it was one of those types that slags a place off based on what they've heard and have never actually been to the place they're slagging or has been but had a bad experience. you know the type. lots of um around.
    shucks, don't I feel silly now ;)

    Cork is a fantastic little city and its not just the Glucksman or the Butter museam why Lonely Planet voted it in the top 5, but the charm of its people too. Our quick wit and charm was noted and you certainly cant argue about that.

    If you read the Irish times they'll have you believed the whole thing was a fix though. They allude to their dissapointment of Patrick street being filled with shopping centres. Whodathunkit?!! a city centre full with shops:rolleyes:

    Yeah, a few years ago the Dublin Times were giving out that Cork was lacking in shops and slagging off MQ as the best the city had to offer and on par with the (then rundown) ilac center in Dublin? :confused:

    The Dublin Times? What publication is that? And if it does exist, why would it have an article about Cork?
