What ya mean mate, mainland Britain?
No, though it did make me more self conscious being Irish there at the height of the troubles.
They & the thugs on the other side did stop me visiting the North for years though.
It took a geology freak till they were 40 something to see the Giant's Causeway. Now that must mean something. I did meet a guy from the North years ago at a disco in Dublin & told him I was planning to visit Antrim (a protestant stronghold). He response was to beg me not to go "You may have a terrific holiday or you may end up in a black plastic sack on the side of the road."
I deferred my holiday for years.
Anyway I'm not too sure that Corby is innocent anyway, good looks engender alot of sympathy & protective chivalry, just don't be a drugs carrier & ugly whatever you do. I think this may be one motto of this story.
I hope you enjoy your holiday
mutt you well travelled fellow you.
