Our hero visited the Irish Republic last autumn: taking in Dublin, Newbridge and Cork on the tour. Not so much as a column centimetre in even a local, free paper to mark his visit.
An elderly lady from SW1 visits Dublin and she’s all over the papers and television. Where did I go wrong? Should I have worn a hat? Taken an embarrassing spouse? Trust me, I wouldn’t have left that pint of Guinness to go to waste! (Though I’m not sure I could have endured the Westlife and Riverdance “entertainment” the poor old dear had to face – revenge is truly a dish best served cold, much like gazpacho).
I’m off to Vienna soon, meeting folk who should be considered representatives of the state (well, 51% so at any rate), so I need your tips to ensure my foreign travel obtains maximum press coverage…
