The Irish want to be the same as thier european counterparts so have decided they are going to do a 3 month trial and all cars during the trial will drive on the right hand side of the road. If everything is ok after the 3 month trial they will get the lorries and buses to drive on the right as well.[:D]

Very good and not as wacky as you may think!!
I was in Dublin, many years ago, when on a Sunday night they completely switched the one way system to go in the opposite direction??!! It was traffic chaos for days with grid lock all over the place!!

It was hilarious, people took up to two days to get their cars out of the mess!! [:)] It was all over the news!! The next time I visited they had changed it again and we couldn't find a road to allow us to cross the Liffey, we had to get off the motorbike and push it across a bridge. If anything Dublin is expensive, but never dull.....lol [:D]
Mind you talking of silly things, the OH's son over heard some-one in a cafe asking what time they stopped selling all day breakfasts - another Irish person me thinks?? [:D][:D]
I have alsdo been on a flight from the USA where the couple in front of me were admiring Windsor castle, but the marvelled at why they had biult it so close to the airport?? [:D]
Chicken and egg spring to mind anyone?! Tee hee.... [:D]
