I love the Paddies, their work ethic is second to none, they probably have the same problems as Greece and Spain, the only difference is that they will knuckle down and with their great sense of humour and a love of the crack(not the drug) will work through these crap times like they have done in the past.
I also have noticed things now looking a little better in the States, two similar countries over the last five years, I have family scattered around Virginia, and even though I would back off from saying they are now over all their problems, things are looking up.
Both these countries have had a full blown crash in every sense, economy and housing, now they have reached rock bottom they are now looking up and forward.
I can't help but think that we still have our proper recession to come yet, we are still trying to cling onto the safety net that was 2008.0 -
Speaking as someone who has a lot of family in the USA it is far from "on the up".
There is "some" upturn in certain aspects but in general the country is still fairly rammed.0 -

I am not saying the USA has no problems or that they are all sorted, far from it. But what I do suspect is they have reached rock bottom, fingers crossed0 -

No! Its just the accent.
When they say that they love !!!!!! they are (usually) referring to horses - I hope.
