I don't really associate being British or Irish (joys of growing up in the troubles!!). I certainly have never thought "wow I'm so pleased to be European. I go to Italy on my holidays and nothing really feels like there is much in common with Ireland, yet we're all European, all lumped in together by what is essentially a giant land mass. Ah I'm waffling away to myself here!! It feels like telling the average irish person "ah sure you may as well be a Brit...you follow the same soccer team, drink the same beer, watch the same tv programmes and read the same papers"..."bollocks I am....I'm European". "You never struck me as having the slightest bit in common with that handsome italian lad there sipping his cappuccino"
