I've just viewed the latest one and have to say, they are much more interesting and entertaining than Michael Portillo. I like the balance of presentation - not too slick and professional, neither too amateurish - it comes across as two people just genuinely enjoying what they are doing and sharing it with the rest of us.

I hadn't been ... but you've sent me on a diversion.   Fond memories of my trip to Tipperary!

Last day today.

I've always wanted to go to Ireland and as usual, they've made me want to go even more.

I have had the pleasure of travelling on about half of the network on the (island of) Ireland - over about 5 days for the most part.  Throughly recommened.   I did post a few picture here but I suspect most members found them to be foreign or out of gauge and response was muted
