I’m sure they’d enjoy having you come along.Unrelated, but I was staying at the Gresham in Cork many years ago, and was asked for ID in the bar. Seeing my name, the barman said it was nice to have a tourist from an Irish background who didn't go around announcing it to everyone. This got us onto a brief conversation while he was pouring my pint about memorable guests that he'd served.Apparently, a couple of weeks beforehand, there was a loud, very tall American staying there, who told him - without prompting - that he was Irish. The barman replied, "oh yeah?" and immediately the bloke said, "that's right, my grandfather was an orangeman!"(I laughed, and the barman said "as you can imagine, that went down about as well as yer man who told the chef he didn't like the fry at breakfast, and could himself make him some pancakes instead." My drink now poured, I laughed again and asked what the chef had said: "Pancakes? Ye's not in fuckin' Dublin now, boy!")

I love Dublin, but the suspicion and contempt many people from the South West in particular feel towards 'the big city' always makes me laugh.Anyway, sorry for the digression.
