I got over that feeling after a few years in New Zealand - people here just don’t seem particularly interested in killing each other.

As far as fear of cops goes, that also changed when we emigrated. I was reared in the tradition that cops were to be hated as well as feared. Now, not so much.

In NI what was the fear of, terrorist bombers, potato farmers, getting clogged to death...?

@Fireball ok so fearless... got it.


Thanks for the responses so far from everyone btw.

3500 killed, 48 000 injured. I’m glad you find the 50 000+ casualties of the Troubles a source for humour.
