British Born Irish Bred Society
Fáilte Mo Chairde
Welcome my friends (is what is written in gaelic above).
This is a society for Irish people reared in the UK.
Irish and non Irish alike are all welcome here
This thread recognises that growing up with Irish identity in the UK is a different kettle of fish to growing up in the Republic so much of what will be discussed will be from an British Born Irish Bred perspective.
feel free to discuss what you like. boxing, hurling, music, fashion, celtic fc, celtic nba or things like Irish identity in the uk, politics, sociological issues or topics or current events, literature, language, food, drink or general media.
here's the link to join

I'm kinda irrelevant here. But Scottish born, British bred here. 
if you a celtic supporter then you're basically Irish.

@ the OP: I'm interested to what extent you know the Irish language. Living in Scotland, I was pretty surprised to see how seriously the Irish language is taken over there. When I go to Ireland a lot of Irish people assume we all learn Scottish Gaelic over here. I learned some Irish when I was staying in my cousins' house in the Gaeltacht and its great to hear it actually being spoken natively. I've still to this day not met a single Scottish Gaelic speaker (except, ironically, one of my English teachers. It was interesting sitting through entire lessons not understanding a single word she was saying.)
