Most of my English friends and relatives don't really give a monkeys, They abhor the Ira and loyalist murderers but they dont confuse them with ordinary people. They don't have a vast knowledge of Ireland or an Interest beyond the odd holiday. The general feeling among them is that if the people of the north want to leave the Union then they will leave.
I never feel anything but welcome in England, only a few people have said "oi paddy" and its always been with a laugh and a one off.
Reading this site, it seems to me we spend far more time thinking about them than they do about us, and if anyone is going to stereotype or insult anyone its more likely to come from our side. However the internet is never a good barometer of a nation.
