    Some of that same topics keep coming up. One of these days they're going to have to choose between Irish Geography, France, The British & Irish Lions and Easy Listening Music.

    And they'll pick Easy Listening Music and Mr.Prodston will cry manly tears of anger.

    Lets be fair guys, if there was an Irish version of this (and if so who would you like to see present?) and one of the topics was Scottish Geography, would you pick it?

    Irish people would know more about Scotland than British people would about Ireland (on average) **

    We are exposed to a huge amount of their media, they see none of ours. And I remember having to learn quite a bit of UK History and Geography at school, I doubt if British people are taught much about us.


    ** With the notable exception of Welsh Megaman, whose knowledge of Ireland is impressive/scary. I think he might be an MI6 mole, but don't tell anyone.

    I don't think it was her literary knowledge that they were interested in.
