Republic of Ireland

[skegsagypsy]

The Republic of Ireland are contemplating not changing their clocks in line with British summertime, a working group has been set up by the new government to look at the impact the radical idea would have on the North of the Island. A spokesman commenting on the plans claimed it was a serious issue and would enforce Ireland's autonomy from Britain.

About time too !

Yet the UK government is again looking at dumping GMT. This will boost tourism!!????!?!!

How the ~~~~ will keeping the summertime clock in winter boost tourism?
It's WINTER! Cold, most of the time wet & miserable... Nobody will suddenly think, "Aaahh, let's got to the UK this winter instead of skiing in the Alps. Britain have kept their clocks 1 hour forward, that will make it all worth while."


Good on the Irish. I hope your shores are flooded with ramblers who get up at stupid o'clock, in full daylight, & spend all their cash in a frenzy of excitement.

My wife is from there. Nice pub to get ratted in. I should not really joke about robbing PO's because her aunt used to run the post office there which got raided 3 times in 3 years ironically the last time was 6 months after it had closed down.

I thought Ireland had already wound the clocks back 20yrs. ;-)

Lol.. How do you rob a PO 6 months AFTER it closed down??
Did the raiders show up not realising??

It even had a sign in the window saying it was shut down. I think they were connected to the first two raids and the idiots thought it would be an easy target again. Obviously there were not local but illiterate and stupid are two words that come to mind.
