    A quick wander around any town this weekend and I think you'll find that is also how the Irish see the Irish.

    There are many varieties of instruments known as bagpipes throughout Europe and in parts of Asia, but in the Celtic world of the British Isles, there are two main types, The Irish (Uillean or Elbow) and the Scottish (Great Highland or Small Border). How do we distinguish between them?

    How is this good marketing?
    Last time I heard, in American eyes we fall in with the UK, WRT having poor dental hygeine and orthodontic adjustment...a modern myth of course but that's the generally accepted stereotype that yanks are given alongside House of Pain and Lucky Charms...

    [edit] Wait this is body wash or something? I'm confusing colgate with a company that only manafactures toothpaste.
    So what does Irish Spring smell like then? Fresh turf? Mouldy castles? Guinness? O'Connell St on a sunday morning?
