So nothing wrong with saying Ireland was there??
Nobody said there was owt wrong and not sure who you are referring to as being pedantic. I certainly wasn't.
When you said Ireland, I thought you were referring to the Republic or Eire.
As I wasn't aware of a bus manufacturing plant in Ireland, that is why I asked the question...
Obviously you have Wrights in Northern Ireland.
As Ireland and Northern Ireland are two different areas, governed by two different governments, with two different currencies, you can see where there has been confusion.
