    I think anything that gives 'the english' any excuse to sterotype us should be avoided.

    I worked in milton keynes a few years ago, and they found it very amusing to say 'top of the morning to ya' when i walked in.

    Also, before that, when i worked in london as a contractor i was described as 'cheap irish labour'...

    Not all 'the English' stereotype us! I find that a bit biased tbh.

    Norn Iron sound awful when you hear it spoken!!! I absolutely detest it

    I've used it in texts, I dont use it online nor in writing just because I like to try to spell correctly, I hate people using text speak also unless in texts

    If you had an english accent you would call it 'Novern Areland'
