Is it safe these days for an English Guy to go for a drink in Crossmaglen?

Question

I live in the republic only 10 miles from Crossmaglen, but I'd like to have a look around Crossmaglen. Is there likely to be animosity there to someone with a British accent who has a complete dis-interest in the whole sectarian thing?

Answer 1

Put on an American accent.

Answer 2

I don't see why you would have a problem. Especially as there are two sides to what you call 'the sectarian thing'. It's just as dangerous for people from the Republic to travel into Northern Ireland.

Answer 3

NO you'll be fine, don't listen to them, the north is fine now :)

Answer 4

I think I'd be a bit nervous.  Unfortunately, you can't guarantee that someone won't want to stick their nose in your business.

Answer 5

You'll be fine, were not ignorant like that.... anymore

Answer 6

yea
