Up the Foyle in a bubble.

[Beso]

Anyone heard of this saying?

[Benjamin]

Never in my life.

[Crimson Dynamo]

same as the west coast one

"ah didny come doon the Clyde on a banana boat"

Id imagine every city in the UK with a main river and post has a similar phrase

[Ray.]

Nope. Thought it sounded like an alternate lyric in Shakespeare's Song of the Witches when I heard it. :laugh:

[Niamh.]

Yes, well a variation of it "I didn't float up the Lagan on a Bubble" which I presume is the Belfast version, that NI guy in Line of Duty used to say it regularly, just different rivers
