thanks for the rep, been around a while, don't post much.
This fondess for the flock you have mentioned, closer to the sheep than a man has any right to be, you've confirmed a long held suspicion we've had about our Celtic cousins on the wrong side of the Irish Sea. But then, perhaps, a north Atlantic winter, without the benefit of a fine Irish woman, might drive a man to extremes.
Just kidding.
Actually I'm a Yank, born and bred, though the roots run deep.
Have enjoyed your posts a bunch, a bright spot on the board to be sure.
