I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket.

I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'.

My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her

was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said,
"Where are we off to now. Columbo?"

Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's"

I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it.

I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.

5. I was wearing a snakeskin coat in Ireland

many years ago. I was driven out by a guy named Patrick.

6. Back in the day, the Irish language didn't have a simple "no."

It's a lovely shorthand word that requiires no explanation and one that has since been adopted.

It's why, when asked if they approve of anything from fashion to politics, they're likely to give a detailed description of their feelings on the subject and it is often pungent if those feelings are negative.

The Scots are good at this, too.
