A LITTLE OFF TOPIC HERE...A little funny story about Northern Irish reg plates, my uncle got married 25 years ago to a Belfast girl, they married in our local church, because my aunts family and friends are N.Irish and this was a time when everyone was wary of the IRA, the local constabulary got in a flap wondering why so many N.Irish people and cars descended on Murton...Could just see the conversation now, worrying if the IRA were about to bomb Murton...As if, blow this dump up and it would cause millions of improvements
These two possibly did end up back there - but other Wright demonstrators didn't or don't have NI plates (memory and google tell me that).
Either way, the biggest market for selling them on after they have finished demonstrating, isn't going to be in Northern Ireland.
It is amazing the dodgy looks an English accent gets over there away from Belfast.
As far as the locals go, an Englishman in Northern Ireland must be police or armed forces!
