    Nosey feckless wanting to know all your business, then the gossip about your business whether true or not. That's free!

    Eh, no? Not to get into the whole Irish Water debate, but no. If you're a rural dweller there was (and still is) a greater chance that you will pay for your water than if you're urban. Either through group water schemes or private wells.

    The fog could be blocking the view of Dublin and we know that the only thing rural people like to see coming from there is the money to support their lifestyle.

    Ah Shure "The fog on the bog is all mine! All mine!" and it's free!
    As for getting money from "the smoke", I had to commute over four hours a day to earn it, thank fúck I work nearer to home now.
    So I get free time as well.

    Its hard to beat the fresh sea breeze you get in the west of Ireland on a nice summers day. I love my weekends and holidays there. A walk on the wild atlantic way is not just free, it is priceless. When I'm in Dublin during the week a walk on Howth or Dun Laoghaire pier is ok but not quite as good.

    Other things are cheaper in rural areas than we pay for in Dublin eg pub prices. You can get a trailer load of wood delivered cheaper..... a friend told me at Xmas how cheaply they heat their home.(but they have lots of space to cut and store their own wood etc). No long traffic jams, and no need for house alarms in many rural areas.
