Many thanks for completing the questionnaire. I will subscribe you in the next few days if you have requested to join the Yahoo list (except during June-August when it may be a couple of weeks). If you wish to send a url/web page, then complete this form.

Please use the buttons to return to my site. You might be amused with some extra facts (?) about Dublin:

  • The average Dubliner earns 28,000 Euro per annum, giving twelve pounds to charity and a hundred and sixty two pounds in tips. The most important consideration when a man is deciding whether or not to give a barmaid a tip is the amount of her body that he can see (not just Irishmen, I'm afraid - Ed.).
  • A quarter of all tips go to taxi drivers even though they earn, on average, four times the average wage in the city, higher than ninety six per cent of their clients.
  • A pint of Guinness in Dublin can cost as much as 6 Euro or as little as 4.20 Euro depending on where you drink. The Radisson St Helens Hotel in Stillorgan sells the dearest pint in Ireland.
  • Dubliners are famous for their generosity with drink - they are more likely to buy a stranger a drink than locals from any other country in Ireland.
