I don’t know whether to be flattered or insulted WOT ;) You’re right – although we’re “not that kind of team” we still don’t react very well to men picking on us :)

I was talking about this experience to a couple of colleagues and they agree with you – they also said that even now, there’s a lot of hatred towards the English in Ireland.

Ho hum.

Far be it from me to type-cast, but I'd imagine that at least some of you are big, fit and strong, and are more than capable of holding your own in a verbal srimmage too. Well done for not rising to the bait. <br/><br/>On a wider point, I'd say that the English are one of the few groups left whom it is still widely seen as acceptable to make racist remarks about. Sad, but true in my experience. I have to say that if I had to pick an argument with anyone, a team of women rugby players would not be my first and automatic choice !

I think you're right. I'm not sure what the exact qualifications for a ladette are but I'm pretty certain I'm don't fit into the criteria. I don't pretend the ladies were saints while away but we're certainly not of the type to get into brawls, puke over people and shag men in loos. *sigh* ah well. Sadly ExPatMum (hello by the way!)

Unfortunately, even though you were obviously not of that ilk, we're now all tarred with the same brush.
