I went to Ireland a few years ago with two English mates and one of them started talking to a local in Londonderry.We ended up making a hasty exit as he was not enamoured with "Brits" as he called the English!Scotch Brothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07432256616788952716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-2707733512177216812010-10-19T19:19:04.157-04:002010-10-19T19:19:04.157-04:00Jack - I suppose I did.

Besides we like to think we get smarter the more of these experiences we survive.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-36229231416224289262010-10-19T01:25:40.244-04:002010-10-19T01:25:40.244-04:00Excellent story.
