    they have the first 4, only they don't tend to re-elect them. peter mandleson, jeffrey archer, lord ashcroft and a few others being fine examples. as kent brockman said, democracy just doesn't work.

    Soda bread, potato farls, buttermilk... I can count on one hand the shops in London that sell them.

    We also don't have British editions of Irish newspapers, like the Sunday World or the Sunday Tribune.

    I really missed soda bread when I was living in Wales. One day I thought I'd try to make my own and couldn't find buttermilk anywhere....oh well.

    My family used to send me over Barrys tea, taytos and Old Time marmalade. My local Co-Op sold the Irish Times, I know I could read it online for free but I liked having a physical copy of the paper.

    Its a minuscule following, mostly by people with Irish connections. I was replying in the context Nailz's post. Its not part of their culture.
