I had a call yesterday off a chap who asked me if I was Irish. I told him that I was not and he said he loved my pictures (that makes a change) and thought I looked lovely, but had been looking for an Irish woman. I told him I had been working on my accent and would have words with my parents when I get home.
We got texting (yes I know I need to stop doing this with strangers) and he said that he was looking for an Irish lady, because he wanted to keep the money he was spending in the Irish economy.
This made me think, as I had just spent a fair noodle in the shops and over 500 euros on my accomodation. A large portion of the money I make does stay in the Irish economy, so is this a principle that is more important than picking the right lady or is their room for maneuver, bearing in mind the money spent during a tour?
What is your opinion on this?
Oh and I won him round in the end. Apparently I have a sense of humour, despite being british!
