Gretna hammered

[Mumsafan]

A few years back I had to do one of these course where it's team building malarkey crap, anyway, we had to assess the bids from three cities for a certain event. I can't remember the other 2 but one was Derry. I was absolutely gobsmacked when the rest of my group (about 7 people) all said "Where's that? Never heard of it!".

Mate i live in Scotland, and couldn't care less. I'm well aware of what the 'council' is called however that is the name of the district and not the actual city :whatever: And if you'd cared enough to have read that link then you'd be aware of this.

Anyway this is my last comment on the matter as the original 'digg' was in jest as I mentioned earlier, and i do not want to become embroiled in a long, boring political debate. Nor did i want to offend our nationalist friends. I thank you.

Were they all too young to have heard of the Undertones?

[Mumsafan]

They were all younger than me apart from one guy from Hull who was permanently drunk

Well done Derry though.

Some of the most fanatical "kick the pope" loyalists are from Scotland.

"Living" there doesn't cut you much slack.

Your comment was deliberately provocative - so here we are.

I'd have more respect for you if you were from Northern Ireland and/or felt strongly about the name.

He is from Northern Ireland.

He is from Norn Iron - i think that's probably why he made the comment
