That's the way life is.
When I first came to England, you know who the thickest people were as far as I was concerned?
Never met them before.
Irish people.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, let me explain.
All of a sudden, all these paddy jokes, thick paddies.
What did Paddy say?
So the perception was Irish people are thick.
I've never met an Irishman before, so that's the perception.
In Kilburn, all over.
All the jokes were paddy jokes.
Have we proved you wrong?
Yeah.
Because I now know.
What on earth is that?
Who were the robbers?
We don't want to mention that.
Now, the point I'm making is that it's not true, but once you then say something so often, it becomes a reality.
