Town with the most culchie name

Which town or village out there has the most culchie sounding name.

Myself I nominate..Ballymackey in Co Tipp

Anytime anyone mentions the place i picture farmers in wellies, tractors, cows & sheep on the road and general culchiness.:)

and you.....

I dunno, their website is pretty swank, they can't be that in touch with their culchie side....

(By the way before any country folk get offended, I'm a culchie through and through and proud of it- wouldn't have it any other way!)

Well even though it's fictional, there still are two places in Tipperary that it's based on- a mix of Killoscully and Ballinahinch

Cool, I never knew that.
So the programme combines the two for maximum culchiness.
Like eating a breakfast roll at a mart.

I genuinely thought this was a made-up name when I was told about it and someone was playing "kid the Englishman".

Are breakfast rolls culchie? Most farmers I know have a big bowl of weetabix or a mountain of brown bread in the morning, I think breakfast rolls are a bit fancy, plus you'd need to be near a deli for one.

But yeah, Killinascully is loosely based on those two places- although from what I hear, Killoscully is a bit of a mad place itself!
