You southern boys just dont get it .
Mr Shuck , is doing either of two things .
1 he really is Irish , but is of english mentality , and is going to Europe / traveling , and does not want to declare his loyalties to the Crown
otherwise our Mainland European cousins would frown upon him , alas when he is Irish , he is welcomed Worldwide as ,Well Irish !.
2 he really is Irish , and wants to declare it to the World , and his neighbours ! ......
It hasnt gone away , Its still there festering away under the shiney veneer .

I always find an Ecosse sticker works well in France. Many French people appear to dislike the English intensely but as soon as you make it clear your Scots, it's a different matter entirely....
I suspect it might be very similar pour les Irlandais.

There may well be similarities when you get to the Mainland . But its a WHOLE DIFFERENT CAN OF WORMS when your at
home here in Ireland . We have some seriously mixed up boys hangin here , Irish men that think there english ! ......
Funny thing is , when there in England Proper , there Paddies , just the same as Irish men that know there Irish !.
Anyhooo ,, Shuck Raider , i get my local graphixs producers to make my "Badges of Origin " i do get a great deal of entertainment with some of
them , but you have to get a man that knows a little about either Flags ,emblems , or History , otherwise you fall foul of those that simply dont know , and they are simply intimidated ! .. Billie is never pleased when i give them a "" Wee Shove "" she reckons
my day will come .

Very very true for sure; there are too many stories to tell at this late hour that demonstrate the phrase "les Irlandais" seemed to enable a completely different attitude i.e indifference morphed into helpfulness. But one thing you can't take away from the French is their capacity to be so elegantly unhelpful; no overt signs of hostility just that elegant shrug that says "sere eese nothing I can elp"
I'm with you. We have the same issue here, particularly through in the West with loyalist Rangers football team supporters, although I don't think even they would object an Ecosse sticker. That's true to the extent that you can walk into a Halfords and buy one off the shelf.
Strange thing is nationality; possibly the most famous adopted Irishman of all is 80 today - he molded a team of average players some of whom were more John Bull that Paddy Whack who played out of their various skins for Ireland & made us all sing Ole! Ole! Ole! Happy birthday Jack - strange old thing is nationality!
Good on ya Gerry, remembering those great times.... Give it a lash ,Jack!

I got my plate made up with NI in it. Causes quite a few Europeans to ask where I'm from.
How dare you attempt to assert an individual nationality within the British Empire, you old rebel, you....

Well, I expected one or two replies, but.......
Previous experience sur le Continent indeed bears out that an IRL sticker eases one's passage through the niceties of interactions with some of the local populace
Thanks for the links, guys
