Bound4Tassie Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 People ask for meet ups with people from their home town,or county all the time on here,don't see any difference meself But if someone said they wanted to meet up with Londoners and a bloke from say Birmingham said he'd like to meet/ socialise, and Londoner said "no, only Londoners "...wouldn't that be a tad rude?

I suppose you could take that view yes,but,the thread was specific in asking for Irish,the poster explained they had friends from elsewhere,but they wanted to meet more Irish,so personally i'd have took that as fair enough tbh Some might say you accusing the poster of racism was a bit rude too though i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's not racist obviously but I personally wouldn't move and then ask only to meet up with other scottish people. However everybody's different I guess and its your business I do think you took tonymans post the wrong way though.. he's just trying to be friendly to new members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound4Tassie Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just wondered how it would sound if an English person said that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just wondered how it would sound if an English person said that! I just don't understand all the fuss made about this,all the poster wanted was a bigger circle of Irish friends,a harmless thread that has been turned into something it never was People ask to meet fellow Geordies,Scousers,all the time,and poms too,whether peoples definition of poms is just English or not has been spoken about before on here,anyway,just a bit surprised a harmless thread can turn into what it has,wtf!lol Anyway,salmon wellington now,gnite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound4Tassie Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Well they could've replied to tonyman's offer in a nicer way. I'll bow out and let the offers flood in. Humble apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I can see both sides tbh. I do think most people are open to meeting any families especially ones that are offering to meet up rather than only asking for one nationality. I'm sure you'll meet some Irish families once your over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishdancing Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I am truly amazed at how a simple post has turned into such crap bound4tassie there is no where on the thread that I wrote ONLY.. As I said I have many other friends and just want to meet some more new irish friends (possibly some newly arrived etc) . It has nothing to do with not wanting to meet other nationalities bound4tassie you also seen to be very uptight on the whole English irish thing which was not what I am on this page for.... feeling amused atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatTomney Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I am from Yorkshire and have Irish grandparents. Australians keep mistaking me for being Irish and an even an Englishman did (he was from the south mind you :jiggy:) do I count?:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
