Irish people pretending to be English abroad

[LittleBrownFish]

It's a daft phenomenon, yes. But I've come across it loads of times. I do it myself at the more elite hotels I stay in; I ABSOLUTELY get taken more seriously.

Anyone else 'guilty' of this?

I've done it a few times for World Cups. Gone about thrashing up the local cafes, pissing on national monuments, terrifying the locals. Y'know, regular enough stuff.

Me. I can pretend to be any white nationality if I see an immediate advantage to doing it.

I have to travel a lot, so I do it if it's easier, because I'm so shit sick of explaining who I am and giving the same old spiel over and over again... I find it easier to play along with a stuck up Brit, dozy yank or brash Aussie routine.

When people learn that you're Irish they automatically expect you to be a friendly, charming, good-craic, party-loving rogue. That gets very tiresome.

- Egg-fucking-zactly. They know you're Irish, they think you're an easy-going peasant.
