Was vaguely listening on radio to people with English accents, living in Ireland for years resenting questions like, '' Where are you from? '' or what brings you here?
Lived in Britain a couple of decades ago and used to hear things like,
''You don't have driving tests over there, do you? ''
What's the definition of an Irish motorcycle?... A car at night with a blown headlight!
Where are you from?..... Holland?
What's it like living here compared to Ireland?
My reply.. much like here..... to general merriment.
So if you have an English accent and live in Ireland and are asked the question, '' Where are you from? ''... suck it up.
It' s mostly not nosiness or some kind of latent racism.
It's merely small talk, conversation or an expression of interest.
