Reply To: Does anyone talk to their neighbours anymore?

…I think the notion of Irish people being “friendly” is about as banal a concept as the average Irish person being a jolly alcholic..if we were ever perceived to be a friendly nation in the past, it was probably because we were such a beat-down lot grateful for anybody taking a interest in our damp little country… its essentially a marketing tool that has been used for so long that we’ve taken to believing it when it has about as much authentity as a John Hinde postcard..
