Subject: RE: BS: USA and the brits in Northern Ireland
So "Bob" knows all of the answers , just where are you coming from, I know that all of the mid-Ulster towns have more migrants per head of the population than Belfast, you do get them on Mudcat.
I once informed a Thread that the Bronte sisters father came from near Bandbridge in County Down, I was called a liar by Penguin Egg and no amount of fact would persuade him that I was right, next I stated that Soccer was the term used in Ireland from as far back as almost the founding of the Fooball Aassociation I was hounded by Shields Folk to give him proof, all he had to do was go to the RTE Site and he would see it written thus in the sports section.
Just a few little insignificant facts to prove that your average Brit is as sensitive as the rest when their feathers are ruffled.
I see some stupid programme on C4 TV [UK] has been accused of racialism by one of the Indian contestant, it has made headline news on BBC tonight, the pot and the kettle come to mind.
