Gary, as far back as I can remember, anyone causing insult or offence on a plane would be reported by the crew to the authorities at the next airport and arrested.
My knowledge of the facts is that the Northern Irish, when meeting each other abroad, were always friendly and helpful to one another no matter which community they belonged to.
Now can someone explain to me why in Dover we had some Irish teachers at school, from Eire, and we all liked them as much as all the other teachers?
And why is it that in London I walked past Irish pubs, and went to Irish shops, where the signs outside said: Irish Shop?
No-one came in and harangued the Irish inside.
There is a lot of talk flying around here on this thread that doesn't correspond to any reality.
I think I forgot to mention the many Irish football players who played in English teams.
The more I think of it, the more incredible this all becomes.
As said... we lived in two different worlds.
Fortunate me! I lived in the happier...
