For an insight into Irish Humour and hospitality, this book is well worth a read.
Round Ireland With A Fridge by Tony Hawks
Witty, if a bit pointless. The Irish like him.
Round Ireland with a Fridge is the slightly surreal tale of Tony Hawks, a stand up comedian who, for a bet, resolves to hitchhike around the circumference of Ireland with a fridge. Really.
Luckily for Tony Hawks, he’d undertaken his voyage in a country which understands and empathises with the average idiotic quest. With the help of national radio, he becomes something of a celebrity wherever he goes, receiving countless offers of hospitality; parties are thrown for him and he get outrageously drunk at every turn.

I hope the fridge gets offered a drink too.
I'd hate to be a fridge and spend all that time hitch-hiking with some eedjut and not get offered a drink now and again!
poletite: I HAVE MY OPINION, YOU HAVE YOURS, WHATS THE PROBLEM IF I LOVE ENGLAND.
How can you love a place you have never visited? Bet you don't even have a passport. I must admit i like nothing better than a weekend in the UK. Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle and London are great places for a night out!
Well you must be getting your facts from a book the world does not know exists. And being so pro english will not endear the english people to you, in fact they find it very off putting and false.

Wee small bit of advice for you... if you ever travel to Ireland, keep that attitude under your hat
