    All new to me. I knew no one who engaged in Irish traditions, dancing and the likes. I have Irish in me and we never did any of that. I'm sure those of Irish parents may have done those sort of things, I never knew any. Once a generation passes the connection is lost and all that stops.

    The myth gets stronger as time goes on.

    The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?
