What amazes me is that a myth has built up that Liverpool people are predominantly of Irish decent, even by the locals. Look at this thread. I am a bigot for telling the truth. Laughable!
I find it even more laughable that the city should organise an Irish festival of some kind as if Irish culture predominates the city - which it certainly does not. As I said, the first time I heard Diddly-dee music was in London. The first time I came across lots of Irish people was in London. We just never had them living around us.
I have a problem here with people who say they ARE irish when they are ONLY from Irish descent, there are many many people in liverpool from irish descent but not many irish, exactly like it is in boston.
