Cork people?

    Does anyone on here find that the worst people you could meet in Cork are highly discriminatory? One person I met from Cork kept thinking I was from Waterford when I was from Wexford.
    ( I will add that this person knew me for years and kept putting my address as Waterford when sending Xmas cards). I just find Dubs a lot more accepting and tolerant but Cork people tend to dislike anyone outside of Cork or think they are better.

    Cork accents at least have an amusing sing-song quality to them. Dublin accents sound like the whole county woke up one day and said "Hey, y'know what reeks of class and sophistication? Lancashire farmers and cockneys. If we can meld those accents together, we'll be the coolest kids in school!"

    Yet you said Cork people tend to dislike and feel they are better than anyone from outside Cork...

    Sweeping generalisation

    I for one welcome our new Cork overlords. OK I'm really going to bed now...

    That's Corkist.

    As a fellow Wexford person, yes we are less dercriminatory than those Cork people.

    Nope. I even heard a 'sweeping' sound as I read it.

    You're easily riled OP. You can get people like that anywhere. Corkonians are a jovial bunch really.

    i'd more think that the worst people you could meet in cork would be be rapists and murderers and such. I can put up with a little discrimination

    Fair enough if that's what you meant but it didn't read that way

    We won't be having this thread tonight.

    Or tomorrow night.

    Or the night after.

    Or next week.

    Or next year.
