But......it is only now, post the referendum, that lots of things are coming out in the wash as it were. Not matters of opinion but of fact. Like the issues around the N.Ireland/RoI border.

To be disparaging about people just because they hold a different political /economic opinion is not nice and the division it sows will not help to serve future generations.

And before then, 2000 BC, 4000 years ago. It's the beaker folk innit, bloody Beaker folk coming here with their drinking vessels. What's wrong with just cupping up the water with your hands and licking it up like a cat!!
