    I drive across the country a lot and often wonder what is it people do in these regional towns for a living. Can't imagine living in one.

It's worse than Ballymun in the mid 90s and still seems to be stuck in that era.

    Keys left in the front door and no burglary ;)

    I think everyone feels that way about a town that is smaller than the one that they live in, to some degree. People in these towns work in service industries, manufacturing, professional areas etc. All towns have a population and a hinterland to service, albeit on a smaller level to your Dublins, Corks etc.

    Nah man four bousies hanging around the doorstep drinking old cellar and packing knuckledusters. Jeez man. As a general rule, people don't sh*t where they sleep. If you live there and your face is familiar you're off limits for the local guttersnipes. That being said I wouldn't move back, but that's because I'm settled where I am and more or less treated as a local now.

    I'd say your Mum is some character. ( no offense meant in comment)
