Ned,
I'm inclined to agree with Tom the Tenor. Oddly, working in a very public business which relies on loyalty I'm glad to say I find Irish people loyal. However, that loyalty depends on the service they recieve. I would say really as to their "fondness" for the product which is everything from the paint on the plane to the person who handles your bag. I woulnd't say I'm loyal to a company such as Vodafone or Ryanair. However, i would be loyal to Galway Airport for instance.
It's the local content which carries it. So I'll know the guy or gal at the check-in, I'll know Mary who makes the tea ETC.
So Ned, I feel that on balance loyalty counts for alot, as long as people don't feel they are being fleeced.
Now I wonder which arguement will stand the test of time.
Slan a chaire,
