that is, of course, where the whole feedback thing falls down. The sort of
arse who sells dodgy goods won't care about his own reputation and won't
think twice about retaliating, which spoils your record. These days I'm
very fussy about who I deal with on eBay.

Well, can't hurt I guess, ta.

>They get really ****ed when you call it Eire...

Who do? Most of the new members I get from there put Eire on the
application, so I dunno. Mind, I'm never very good at keeping up with
the new terms. None of my West Indian friends would give room to any
other term...

Only the ones that don't realise that Éire is the official name of the
country.

The English for the Irish word/name Éire is Ireland.

I don't know for sure (because it's the one place where I steer very
clear of politics!) but I believe it is seen as meaning "the bit the
Brits didn't nick off us'. There seems to be a desire to be Irish
(regardless of 'Northern' or 'Republic of' prefixes), which Eire /
Ulster doesn't sit well with.

Recently I've done lots of work in Enniskillen, Belfast, Co Mayo,
Dublin and Co Cork and would be happy to emigrate to any of them...
That said, most of the workforce seems to actually be Polish.

True, but no Irish person should feel offended at anyone's use of the
word Éire. According to the Constitution, the name of the country is
Éire, or in the English language, Ireland. So either is completely
acceptable. Éire appears on all of the coins, stamps, Acts of
Parliament, Presidential Seal, you name it.
