Real Time Traffic Link

Could be very useful to those of us on the mainland (sorry Ireland, IOM & CI )

If there is one thing that will piss off an Irish person it is an English person using the term "mainland". The Republic of Ireland is an independent country. The United Kingdom is NOT the mainland. It is a smallish country on the west coast of Europe, the same as Ireland (we are just a smaller country ).

Yes, and the Channel Islands are NOT part of the UK - who did not know that!

Well, don't forget that Northern Ireland IS part of the UK, so he may very well have been referring to that

Seems it's only useful for England anyway!

I’m very sorry for causing any offence chaps. I was only trying to be helpful and pre-empt any supercilious comments such as “it’s no good to us as it does not cover such & such a place”

Next time I’ll keep me trap shut to prevent any ill feeling.

It's only the term "mainland" that winds us up.

Narked,
We dont discuss religion or politics here in Dublin
