Mainland Brits, how many of you have been to N Ireland?

[bloomen]

I am a mainland British person. I am also literally the only person I know who has ever been to Northern Ireland. I find this rather strange. Everyone I mentioned it to seemed to find it weirdly exotic.

Masses had been to Dublin but it never seemed to occur to them to head across the border.

What of yourselves?

Quite - not the religion as such. However, the Scottish 'identity and culture' appears to cope much better.........without the religious overtones.

That very much depends on where you go. There are parts of Scotland where sectarianism is virulent. My 'ethnicity' is the first thing thats been questioned in quite a few situations.
