Sorry to have to agree with Reffy mate but it was 2 countries and a Principality which signed the treaty of Union which Northern Island could not because it only came into existence in the 20th century.

But what has that got to do with Charlie writing that AP was Irish ?



I give up.

Charlie sort them out !

FB , not being an educated Clown ,Charlie doesn't know about Gt Britain and the UK , or principalities ,and Bow to the Superior knowledge of Francis and Reffy , though to me AP is an Irishman

my own Gt Grandfather was a Simm from the Northern Quarter , which probably explains why I like potatoes in my Minestrone

.

FB you were right also , I DID mean Martin Pipe , not David , my medication is stronger than I thought

.

Both Irish - definitely not English....or [i"British"[/i!!!

Walt , I know both Ruby and Barry are Irish , Barry is my Fave Jockey , and stable Jockey to Nicky Henderson , cant waitv to him ride Sprinter Sacre this season , cant it getting beaten either , ALL SEASON .
