    As someone who has lived in London for 20 years and is now spending some time in Belfast, I have to say the big difference is the people. In Belfast people are friendly and courteous. I see this while driving in the city but also in my general engagement with people. Belfast is coming into its one following over two decades of peace.

    BTW, the best way to eat a packet of Tayto cheese & onion is in between 2 bits of buttered bread. You can't beat a cheese & onion sarnie, but it has to be Tayto, nothing else will do 😂

    Bizarrely these folks were on an airport bus to Grand Central Station but they got off on the other side of the city centre and walked to their hotel … beside Grand Central Station !
    Tayto cheese n onion are the iconic Tayto flavor ;-)

    • @JJExtra
      @JJExtra  Месяц назад +1

      Yes, we were warned about traffic around Grand Central due to road closures and construction so made the decision to get off sooner and walk, taking the opportunity to see the city and Christmas lights without the evening crowds.
      We did experience the traffic on our bus back to the airport however 😂
      We tried the cheese and onion Tayto’s… 👌🏻
