If it's laim neeson or someone like that. Then people are happy to say he is Irish. But if it's a muderer or pedo or someting. then "that person is from the north. Nothing to do with us"

Why do people feel the need to catagorise and label housemates? The world is full of multi-faceted people and stereotyping isn't necessary as more often than not people will not fill all the stereotypical traits. There are plenty of annoying housemates that are not irish or scottish that do not match the traits of their stereotype too.

Sadly, I feel that some people like their stereotype and try and make themselves fit the profile. This is true of too many housemates I feel.

only because the majority are English, there's usually only one Irish/Scottish/Welsh etc so people seem to think they represent whichever country they're from which of course is silly

Yeah, they were. Imagine Bette Davies in the BB House. She'd tear them all a new a-hole.

But in the Bosten irish/american view of the world Dublin is a little village full of simple people. With Redcoats shooting leprecons while men in white wool jumpers sing songs.
