These signs are real and were widespread in the late 1800's and early 1900's. A lot of Irish bars in Boston and New York display these original signs from a hundred years ago on their walls. The perception of the Irish in this country has well and truly made a 180.

Winny is a Pommy living in Ireland. So he doesn't count.

BTJ is a very angry, bigot American living in an Irish part of town with (possibly) ancestors from Ireland. He is nothing like me or anyone I know personally.

I am from Ireland, living in your country for the sole purpose of making a living.

Really comparing apples with oranges with nuts.

This story sums up winbet.

Six retired Irishmen were playing poker in O'Leary's apartment
when Paddy Murphy loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and
drops dead at the table. Showing respect for their fallen brother, the other five continue playing standing up.


Michael O'Conner looks around and asks, "Oh, me boys, someone
got's to tell Paddy's wife. Who will it be?"
They draw straws. Winbet picks the short one. They tell
him to be discreet be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse.

"Discreet??? I'm the most discreet Irishmen you'll ever meet.
Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me."


Winbet goes over to Murphy's house and knocks on the door.
Mrs. Murphy answers and asks what he wants. Winbet declares: "Your husband just lost $500 and is afraid to come home"


"Tell him to drop dead!" says Murphy's wife.

"I'll go tell him." says Winny.

Ha ha yes, we all hate the Pommies, this is our common bond. My mother was born in Paisley, Glasgow (but grew up in NY) so I'm half Scottish.

Aha, I always felt we shared some common bond...now I know that it's our distaste for those wretched pommies.

It's quite interesting to read about the Scotch-Irish people in America.(People in Scotland refer to themselves as Scots. People in American refer to themselves as Scotch.) Here's a snippet from Wikipedia:

Due to the close proximity of the islands of Britain and Ireland, migrations in both directions had been occurring since Ireland was first settled after the retreat of the ice sheets.
Following the Norman conquest of England, Anglo-Saxons from England, sought safe haven from the Normans in Lowland Scotland. Lowland Scotland, already a mix of Gaels, some remnants of Pictish culture, Vikings, Britons and Anglo-Saxons collectively went on to be known as Lowland Scots, different in language and culture from the Gaelic of the Highlands and Islands. [1] Large numbers of Lowland Scots invaded Ulster a province of Ireland as part of the Plantation of Ulster in the early 17th century. The Scots-Irish are descendants of Ulster Scots immigrants to North America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
