Sour Taste

war_child

Hey all ive just started this thread to share an observation ive had. I moved to Waterford a year ago from Dublin, i use Boards to find out about the town , whats going on , places to visit and see and so on. Now my reason for starting this thread is because whilst im watching the threads develope a large majority of which descend in to Dublin Bashing.

It really puts a sour taste in my mouth to see my home town bein bashed for nothing more than the fact its Dublin.

Now ive been quite happily residing in Waterford and on the wholeive found the people to be really nice and accomodatin, but then i come on boards and its Dublin this Dublin That, with all honesty if the people fromWaterford used their energy more to promote the city and some of the beauitiful places it has to offer it would offer a much nicer picture for people visiting Ireland then logging on and just seeing ballyraggin of other counties.

I have full intentions of staying in Waterford working here and raising my family here and i would like my children to see the good side of both counties instead of them being judged and abused for being from Dublin also.

Many Thanks

Ill repeat what I said in the last thread you brought this up..


If anything, its Kilkenny bashing that goes on around here and makes moderation a headache for years now! Now unless the cats are also claiming to be in Dublin, there is no Dublin bashing going around. Yes I know Waterford people are unhappy with how the media treats Dublin and the rest of the country outside of the big city, but nobody is bashing Dublin specifically. They are complaining about the media.

(Fecking Dubs. Making me post twice. Down with that sorta thing!!! :mad:)

decies

You must be mad ( mad dub)!! Agree with sully most threads here are about cats and UPC !! Waterford people do get peed of with jobs seemingly ending up in all the usual areas and we get the scraps if anything. We welcome Dublin people here on our lovely motorway , tell your friends come visit us, we won't bite :-)

I don't it's waterford has a sour taste for dublin, I think even county bar Dublin has a distaste for Dublin. Particularly the fact that its the capital and as such seems to get a higher proportion of the share of jobs, wealth, amenities etc.

Granted it has a higher population but when a county gets so much more then a certain line is passed which creates a uneven balance which manifests itself into this form.

As to Waterford thread harping on about it, I would agree with Sully. Seeing that I am from Killkenny and I have been living here for 14 years means something.

On the other side of that coin... How many Dubs consider anyone from outside the Pale to be Tayto munching, culchie bog warriors?
Everyone gets on to everyone at some stage, its light hearted mostly.

Dub bashing is the birthright of anyone lucky enough to be born outside Dublin.

And long may it continue...........

I don't think I've seen anyone bashing Dublin! Its obviously happening though because your clearly very upset over it.

Think someone needs a hug.

Edit: I actually do love Dublin !!

Used to work in a factory in the Ind Estate and on my induction day the Health and Safety guy, who was a bleeeeeeeeedin Dub, was giving us a little talk about making the place a safer place to work; as he put it: "To make the factory more attractive so that other people will want to come down to Waterford to work"... To which I questioned him about the geographical position, for example, of Cork relative to Waterford.
Dublin is not the centre of the universe. Get used to it, everybody who is not originally from Dublin but ends up moving there will at some stage be referred to as a cultie by some jackeeen!!

Ive never seen any Dublin bashing on here? Maybe in After Hours but not here. If anything, Waterford gets more abuse thrown at it from everyone else.

Yes but that's because it has been around longer than anywhere else.

Any chance you could give a few examples of this Dublin-bashing? I ask because I thought you were on a wind-up when you said it in the other thread. I've been a regular user here for quite a while now and have never noticed it so I'd be curious for you to point it out.

I think if you actually put links to where there was Dublin Bashing people might have a bit more sympathy for you, you brought up the issue its up to you to provide evidence of it dont you think.
