    The company, which is privately owned, is intensely proud of the fact that it is an Irish company.

    I must be getting really old and grumpier but I think that their christmas cards which are quite nice to look at, should have a green postbox on them instead of a red one, Just to make it that little bit Irish
    I know it's such a petty thing.

    But postboxes used to be red here, fair play to Dunnes for reviving an old tradition.
















    :P

    Besides white, what colour do you think of when you think of Christmas?

    They also have Santa on them.... Let's sue for false advertising

    There is a Dunnes Stores shop about to get burned out in Belfast for having Christmas Cards with Green Postboxes on them.

    Postboxes in Ireland were originally green, then for a short while they were red, then back to green again.

    Where are they made by the way?

    Their own brand stuff doesn't come up as Irish on the receipt so I take their promoting of their Irishness with a pinch of salt.

    Green of course, it stems from the all the envy i had as a child, seeing how much better everyone else's presents were compared to mine.

    Not sure but it has Dunnes Stores printed on the back so they are probably chinese :D

    I know, those fancy ones are too much. I will sell you these Christmas cards, ten for €1.

    I like the fact that it allows you to choose your own type of greeting - Merry, Happy, Fcuk off etc.
