    Love the Derry Girls! Loved my visit to Derry a couple of years ago. I was camping just outside of town. I asked the young guy mowing the lawn, "The border's around here somewhere?"
    "Oh , just over in the shuck." Less that 15 meters. Though he wasn't around back in the day, he pointed out the British outpost, the dragon's teeth border check point up on the road. The city is great, the Free Derry Museum is a must see to anyone who's ever peacefully protested. Beautiful city, friendly people. (Even the Bogside teenagers trying on their best middle school menacing look were a treat. I'm from Detroit (during the Troubles we had the bigger body count than all of the North) but I tried to act a bit menaced. You can walk everywhere, people are friendly and any nuns you see won't be armed with rulers.

Somehow it just turned out to be the perfect combination of acting, writing, and directing. And it sure put N Ireland on the map! Love Saoirse and the whole gang!

    St Columbs Cathedral, the oldest and most Historic building in the city was not even mentioned.
    Also St Agustines Church, and which she walked past wasn't mentioned.
    I WONDER WHY???? 🤔 🤔

    When I was a teenager the only people who dyed their hair funny colours were the punks, nowadays it's quite normal for people of any persuasion.
