Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Moka yesterday
I believe the comments are closed on the other thread.
If I'm not mistaken, we may be the couple who left. We left because we had finished our breakfast and were in a bit of a hurry.
Yes the kids threw a wobbly - everyone watched in sympathy for the mum and a little bit of amusement as the piece of cake caused such emotion in the toddler. It was all quite normal and maybe perceived by the mum as worse than it was cause she was dealing with it.
I'm not going to make any comment on Mokas attitude towards prams cause I don't have any. I like the place.
My main concern is being called 'elder' if we are indeed the couple!

Personally I think "Mick" was directed more at my assumed papish tendencies than any deficiency in intelligence...

John D, the 'throwing a paddy' thing is no big deal. I just thought Tom Devine was right to raise it in the first place, so I pursued it in my usual pedantic way. How an infant in Moka or anywhere else could throw a paddy rather than a fit or tantrum is beyond my ken.

You have too much time on your hands. In the outside world, no one gives a toss. Least of all us Paddies.

It's your opinion, Philip, and you're welcome to it. But I'm sure my modicum of knowledge outweighs your skipful of ignorance any day.

For self-inflicted stereotyping, read " Ballygullion " by Belfast author Lynn C. Doyle

Stereotyping indeed, John, but hardly self-inflicted. I'm afraid the bank manager Leslie Armstrong Montgomery made little effort to understand either the ordinary Ulster-Scot or the ordinary Ulster-Irish he lived among on both sides of the border. He was popular back in the '40s & '50s in a constipated sort of way - so maybe a daily dose of castor oil would have counteracted the linseed oil effect.
