Other way round....... Westport and Roundstone were full of Yanks. Spent a very pleasant evening in Matt Molloy's with a bunch of blokes from Chicago who couldn't believe how friendly the place was and how safe they felt .

The Scots produce superb single malts, some nice blended too .... but tell the world how good it is!You will, without a shadow of a doubt, be able to purchase a Scotchin every pub in Ireland.

Did someone say TIP? I drive touring buses full of visitors and I tell them that tipping is mandatory. You have been given advice on riding here and I appreciate that you journey may have finished. Here’s some other advice. Food and drink are a lot more expensive here. Tips are really appreciated. Cops here are much less likely to resort to the notebooks than other places. The right attitude really helps. If you’re driving riding here just don’t take the piss. JJH
Might I ask why not and if it's okay to call it 'The South' or 'The Free State'? Don't want to offend anyone.
Thank you in advance Comrade.
I’ve never had a problem with Southern Ireland. The republic would be a better way of describing us. JJH
thank you all for your thoughts, words of wisdom, advice and so on. Going next week. Photos and story to follow.
Regarding arseholes, if the woman in the silver civic had been any closer to me this morning she'd have been able to wipe mine. Stupid, selfish, arrogant self-entitled cow. She is obviously unaware that you are supposed to stop when the pelican lights go amber, particularly if the pedestrian has already started to cross... I hope she collects a bin lorry on her way home. It's only a matter of time given her attitude to other road users.

"I was in Ireland for my holidays"

"The Republic"
I suppose, in a perfect world....that's how we would like it to be referred to as.
Thanks in advance

Shame the "Happy Wanderer" wasn't more happy or did more wandering. At least there are plenty of good moorland and Coastal routes close to Durham. Always enjoyed my trips around The borders, Cumbria, Northumbria, and Yorkshire.
He is clearly convinced that it’s more like downtown Baghdad, than Adare.
If it's okay with you I'll continue to call Northern Ireland 'The 6 Counties living under the illegal yoke of Colonial Bondage', if only to irritate my Loyalist relatives."I was in Ireland for my holidays"

Off subject.....is that Loughshore Road just outside Portaferry??
Whilst we’re discussing Ireland what about dogs?
We’re thinking about a couple of weeks in the van but I’ve heard that Ireland isn’t dog friendly.
Is it much different to the UK in this respect, I’m more thinking about taking him to a pub for lunch rather than into a restaurant.
Apologies for the thread hijack.

Indeed - well spotted.
Not a bother on the west coast as long as the dog is well behaved. Couple from Chester in a pub in Clifden with a wee Cairn/Jack Russell cross sat between them no one batted an eyelid.
