Brexit for dummies

[Shallowhal]

Are ya thinking of moving back to civilisation Hal?

Nah,not atall....we like it up here,19 yrs,kids are...well teenagers,mortgage paid in five years...still have a big mickey...all's good!!

They all say that until you peel away at the veneer. So many Dubs I've met at matches, especially on away days, all say the same thing...initially, Everything is in Dublin...everything from best doctors to hospitals. The boom made the move seem less disruptive, I suppose, but most would agree they'd rather be where it's at and that's Dublin. The same thing is happening again now and the same result will unfold............

You're clearly referring to yourself LL.....i can answer for me!

When I lived on the edge of Dublin you drove everywhere.Two cars per house is normal.Kids getting driven a little 10 mins walk from the house to school.That's why traffic is so shit for everyone.Public transport isnt great or efficient.You could be on the bus for over an hour off peak getting into town.

Now where I am walking to the shop,off-licence,chipper or dentist isn't a big ordeal. If I have to I can cheaply get to the city center if I wanna eat/drink out.

Everytime I get some elderly culchie coming up to Dublin to see some super amazing consultant I remember how much we have it good in Dublin.I've picked up oulwans in their 70s/80s coming up from Kerry/Mayo on the train to see specialists in Matter/Vincents.Ya don't wanna HAVE to have a car when you get old. They're expensive hobbies unless you've got a generous pension.

It's not for everyone but you need to try both to realise the difference.

Not referring to meself Hal and I know you can answer for you, but my experience of Dubs moving away from their home-place is that they project a false sense of a rural idyll which only exists in Barbara Taylor Bradford books. The reality of life in rural Ireland is more truly reflected in Edna O'Brien's or Patrick Kavanagh's writings. Guarantee you when you were bent over the head-gasket of your vintage jammer the twitching windows brigade were able to tell if you'd changed your boxers from yesterday's etc etc.

Funniest moment of me life was a Jap singing the lyrics in a Karaoke in London to "Gold" by Spandex Ballet.

One me break from cheffing in a salubrious hotel back when a chef could walk out of one job into the next with 15 pints on him and get hired plus a pay-rise to boot.

Business men in Japan love a birra karaoke after an 18 hr shift.

Bukaki for the bosses though. Why ride a Yamaha when you have a Honda in the background.
