Liverpool was MENTAL !!!!....there are thousands and thousands of 1st,2nd and 3rd generation Irish in my city !!!....they say Liverpool is the capital of Ireland !!!...[my father was from County Mayo]...PLUS.....we have the cheap flights from Dublin so you can imagine the scenes at 10am when people with big Guinness hats,ginger wigs and [unfortunately !!] whistles are waiting for all the Irish pubs to open [we actually now have an "Irish Quarter" in the city centre ???????].
We had a massive parade which is a joy to see.....loads of pipe bands from Ireland,Scotland and Liverpool.....I know it is just an excuse for people to become "Irish" for 1 day but it brings people together and creates a vibrant,happy,loony atmosphere throughout the City centre !!!!......long may it continue.
All my love,
Keith...[the half Irish half Scouse Docker !!!!].
