I did an Instagram reel two, three years ago.
It's still the biggest reel I ever did.
We're like, why do we have front doors in Ireland?
No one uses them.
Right.
So...
But the reason why... And I actually found this out years ago.
The reason why all the houses are facing the door, right, was to do initially with water spike because there'd be pumps.
So you'd bring it around the back of the house and the front of the house where people entered.
But the doors faced the road, right?
Yeah.
But now, because roads are busier, you kind of go, God, why are we facing the road?
But because that's where all the houses were, that's how they did it.
And most houses down the country...
Are these things called Oliver Horace Plunkett or something like that?
I remember doing this.
So you'd get a small cottage.
Like the house I grew up in was a council house originally.
So you were given the bricks and mortar.
You had to build it yourself, right?
