The only thing I can think of that is uniquely Irish is putting the pan in the press with the other messages. That would have to be explained/translated anywhere else in the world.

Thank the bus driver..

Nope. Done here in Engerland too, and in Scotchland. Don't know why they say 'Thank you bus driver' over here though. I'm pretty sure the bus drivers know what they do for a living.

Interesting, thanks. Have lived in Scotland years, and travelled in many parts, and never heard it

I've now googled it and it does seem to be much more of a Scottish thing.

They still don't know what a bold child is though - one who doesn't put the food back in the press.

I lived in Aberdeen for years, had friends from Lewis who said it all the time. First time I heard it I thought they were taking the piss.

Teaching Irish in schools.

Tractors on the motorway driven by a 16 year old with a provisional licence pulling a fully loaded 40ft trailer at 35mph with no fear or chance of being prosecured for it.
