Is Dunnes a supermarket there? It went bust when I was a kid as a clothes shop here. Same slogan though

Oh and Tesco completely owns the crap out of Dunnes for the record. In every possible way. The 24 hour a day service and automated machines saving you the trial of dealing with real humans makes it perfect fodder for stumbling in to get some grub when your off yer trolley in the wee hours.

Dunnes for the win:love: they help you pack your bags and I'm lazy

It's not stalking,they go to organized signings,PAs and what not.

We don't have 24 hour Tesco where I live. And the automated machines on never on late either.

It's great when you're single and that but I wouldn't fancy bringing kids up there

I'd love a retreat to get away from the city I have to admit. Not totally but you know for the odd weekend and stuff? Just to the countryside or coast :love: Heh I want it all :blush:

We still have Dunnes clothes and household stores here, not a Dunnes supermarket though.

Ha, I remember that. People where my mother in law lives were being told they werent allowed to put flags up or anything. So some guy covered his whole house in them, I mean literally the whole house. Was quite funny. He did get made to take them down though, but it was good at the time.

I was petty...Im ashamed to admit, and put one up only because we werent meant to :laugh: Any other time I dont even put them up.

I don't live there, but i love older British music, movies and TV series. Close to my heart!
My #1 country when it comes to culture, and US comes second. I ain't typical "liberal wannabe" European.

The fact a lot of people wish they could come here (more often), is what I love about it, that it has that 'pull' and it makes you feel like yeah, Im from Britain /socool

Music + comedy like others have mentioned too.
