Raggytash, I deliberately referred to an 'insulting implication', and am happy with this. I was assuming that you took me to be 'English' and that you supposed I had learned about Ireland via the English education which, in my view, you misrepresented, albeit saying that you did this on the basis of 'limited experience'. As it happens, I have attended English educational sessions in which it was stated that the Liffy in the times of James Joyce was dirty because it was full of English shit. Make what you like of that.
