I'm surprised this hasn't come up before (maybe it has?)
Fairly regularly, I've noticed posters making reference to "in town" or "near the city centre" or responding to other posts with reference to Dublin street names or localities that may not be familiar to most non-Dubliners, and can in fact be completely irrelevant unless you are a Dubliner.
It often appears also that posters looking for a service/outlet or whatever, who neglect to mention the region concerned, turn out to be Dublin based. There seems to be an assumption made in many cases that everyone is from Dublin.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds this a little annoying.
How can I put this politely...?
Not all posters are based in Dublin. In fact, it seems to me that a lot of posters are not Dublin based, including some long term/well known posters and moderators.
Can posters please consider us culchies?
