    Believe me they would still ask if it was a Protestant or Roman Catholic one.
    ah but only a Protestant would say Roman Catholic ,so that would give the game away right away:rotfl:

    Have to admit I thought the exact same thing! Does anyone remember the sketch from "The Empire Laughs Back"? Would have been at least 10 years ago shown on the Beeb but the gist was a guy standing on stage mimicking a conversation trying to ascertain a girls religion.

    What's you're name - Claire - ..... could be Protestant, could be Catholic
    So what school did you go to - Belfast High ..... could be Protestant, could be Catholic
    Did you play any sports - No ..... could be Protestant, could be Catholic

    And so it went on. I remember thinking I'd been asked some of these questions in the past and how obvious it was now that the person in question was trying to figure out what I was!

    They should ask everyone in NI if they would like a water meter.

    Those who don't reply or say no, should have a compulsory meter installed. You can be sure that they're the ones who know that they use more than the average "consumer".
    So are you saying everyone should have a water meter or just the ones that dont want it .If its the latter then I want two ,just to be sure ;)
