I'm reminded of being at a conference in the North of England, way back in the '70's at the height of the IRA campaign in Britain. Some of the delegates, knowing I was Irish, asked "What do Irish people think of those dreadful 'Irish jokes'?". I answered - "They tell them about Kerrymen!". "And what do the Kerrymen do?", they asked. "Put them in books and sell them to Englishmen!", sez I.


I was marginally gilding the lily - the main compiler of such books was from Cork!

Regards.
