In my part of Scotland, (way up in the arse-end of the highlands), we had Gaelic dubbed Postman Pat and Danger Mouse….he wasn’t called Danger Mouse though - he was Donnie Murdo! We had some dude with a guitar on a programme called Dotaman. It was all so bloody grim!
Reminds me of being a kid in the 80s right enough! I’m from the arse-end of nowhere in the Scottish highlands though, not Ireland. Last time I was there was in 2000 and it was Ulster - was at Queens University for the nursing course, ended up going to Stirling instead though. Last time I was in Eire was 1998 and it was brilliant craic - nicest folk I’ve ever met, proper warm and friendly and brilliant humour.
