Water charges in ireland are a good example, folk there just said “shove em up your arse” and they stood together and they had to scrap them......that would never happen in the UK, sure we would make a lot of noise about it in gossip , but they have everyone by the bollocks so everyone would have been too shit scared not to pay it. Another example is these pay day loan companies, the telly in the UK is full of adverts for them.......but Ireland?....never seen one yet. That tells it’s own story about how your average Joe Soap is having to live I reckon. When all that water charging trouble was going on some cnut wiped his arse with the bill and posted it back, the poor cnut that opened it had to be tested for all sort's haha. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brand new never lived in and full furnished with 18 acres for 90 grand. Plenty of places for sale here.

Atb j You have me reminiscing about many a good time spent over there, it's certainly high in my list of places I would move to. Right by the sea, I would be in my element with a bit of land to farm and the sea for my fishing. In all seriousness, I have considered buying a place out there, one that needs a lot of work (cheap) kind of a retirement plan if you like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its not as bad as that for the average bloke mate,truthfully not,maybe if your scraping by on minimum wage,but I know loads of guys running decent cars,having a fairly easy life,decent'ish houses,foreign holiday a year,just means both partners have to work,but its far from doom and gloom in blighty 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
