That's what they say in Liverpool too. We didn't turn on our lights, we left them on. We were neutral you see.LastKnightoftheproms wrote:Aye, they switched the lights on in Dundalk so the bombers could line up Belfast.namron wrote:And you lot were a great help !Thanks for the fire engines Dev but my granny's chippy had already burnt down ya bollicks
So who are the ten? Or do I have to look it up?
That's what neutral countries do.

I think you'll find not all of the entire 26 counties were at home with their lights on. My father for example was in the RAF at the time.LastKnightoftheproms wrote:You know what?

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Re: SPOTY
You'll also find that Allied shipping were able to use southern ports with more ahem .... "flexibility" than they should have had when in a neutral port. RAF and Coastal command planes were able to overfly Donegal with impunity thus extending thie range over the Atlantic significantly and helping considerably to win the war against the U-boats, and also Allied flyers that came down in the republic mysteriously found their way back across the border quite quickly and able to re-enter the war (albeit not in the early days of the war) whereas German flyers who put down there were interned for the duration.BaggyTrousers wrote:I think you'll find not all of the entire 26 counties were at home with their lights on.

The Free State sided in many ways with the Allies more than a neutral country ever should ... albeit, much of that was under threat of invasion by Churchill through Norn Iron to extract those concessions by force if necessary!

FFS! It didn't take this thread long to go down the "traditional route".
Still, It's (marginally) more entertaining than SPOTY.

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.
