    Was in Dunnes earlier and saw a t-shirt for st pats days with a picture of a potato made to look like a persons face and drinking beer with something along the lines of lets get blotto.
    So now a Irish company is selling a t-shirt with a Irish person portrayed as a potato drinking beer:mad:

    Dunes I was in yesterday had Patrick's day cakes marked up expensive in the colours of the Irish flag. Except when you actually look they are Green,Orange,green. Did make me chuckle.

    In my local Dunnes they have mannequins dressed up in full loud and garish Paddy's Day attire, they look like Americans from hell who profess their 1/35th Irish gene.

    Why do they have St Patrick wearing a bishops garb anyway from like the 13th century. And in Green and not Patrick blue ?

    Would it be worse or better if the company wasn't Irish?

    I can still remember where I was 20 years ago, when the last Irish person was born.

    Seems pretty accurate.

    Stereotypes come about as there are some truths to them. Sometimes more than just some.

    In the mid 90s in the UK, I always thought it was pretty much take it or leave it - until I hopped on a bus in Kilburn on Paddy's day. It was fantastic. Cans being passed around all sorts. The bus driver kept having to refuse a drink.

    One of the best I've ever been in.

    Living in London in the 90s put me off Paddy's day for life.

    Although I hated it before then too.
