      We have a folk festival in our town over the duration of a long weekend. They get 5 or 6 massive marquee's to shade from sun or rain! Wonderful idea Lorraine's and can confirm it works!
      We have wet winters, most of all of our town shops have verandah's..
      We have bike lanes here. If cars drive into them, they get a fine. It saves lives!
      😂 Ireland is the new Switzerland, as far as banking goes! Trains are cheaper than buses here.
      We get 20days annual leave, 4 weeks including weekends! Totals 28day. 2 paid bereavement/compassion days per year. 10 paid sick days. Sounds similar.
      I think our bank holidays may be called public holidays or long weekends perhaps.

    Hi guys, we enjoy your videos very much. I have to disagree on the public transport though. I can go from Dromod in Leitrim to Dublin (2 hours ride with the train) for 26 Euro. That's return. A similar ride in the UK would cost me over 100£/116€. We hope you have a happy Sunday.
