Hello, how are you? Thank you for your videos, always very useful!!! I'm going to Belfast for a few days and then Europe. I'd like a tip, do you think you need to have pounds for Belfast or do you have euros in the wise and when you pay (the app converts) it`s possible?

Hello dear Beatriz. Not sure about Wise since I don't use it, but you can pay with your credit card or google pay without converting to pounds.

There is nothing more annoying than someone who gives a history lesson about a city he's never been in and of which he knows nothing; result, factual nonsense! He states that the population of Belfast is 350,00....wrong! in 2023 the true figure is 643,000; I would say there's quite a difference in the figures! He tells us that the city was known for its wool industry....wrong again, for the city - indeed the entire north of Ireland was founded on the flax and linen industry - Irish Linen being regarded as the finest in the world. In fact, so famous was the linen produced there, that Belfast was known as Linenopolis! Wool was never an industry anywhere in the whole of the island of Ireland! He then goes on to talk about the Titanic Museum. A museum is a repository for historical artefacts of which Belfast as a whole, and the "museum" specifically, has virtually none, and why the building has its title as "The Titanic Experience," which gives the history of shipbuilding with a broad range of exhibits - hands on, visual, audio and reproductions. It truly is an amazing experience that can take a few hours to get around in depth. Anyone who wants to view general Titanic artefacts should go to a number of US cities that have no connection with either the Titanic or Belfast, but like to coin in on the most famous peacetime ship disaster in history. Virtually the whole site of the former Harland & Wolff Shipyard is known as "The Titanic Quarter," as the original drawing offices (now a hotel) still retain much of the famous interiors in their original form, as do the dry dock and pumping works. The narrator talks about HMS Caroline, but neglects to tell us of the greatest sea battle ever fought - the Battle of Jutland - but simply refers to the ship as a "surviving" Royal Navy ship from the First World War. Is it any wonder that Americans are so badly educated when thy get histories like this? "Napoleon's Nose" is not an attraction, nor is it an actual site as he would have you believe; it is simply an outline feature that can only be seen for a mile or two from the south-eastern end of the city and shoreline. Lewis Carroll used it as an inspiration for his book, Gulliver's Travels. You would not know it if you could actually stand on it!! If I were to write or give a talk on Belfast and Northen Ireland, I would refer to the region as once being one of the world's foremost industrial cities, having the largest shipbuilding industries, the largest rope-makimg industries, the largest flax and linen industries in the world; one of Europe's biggest tobacco industries in Europe, and the second largest soap and candle industries in the UK. Added to that, I would add the famous Short & Harland Aircraft industry, Mackies Engineering works that made (amongst other things) weaving looms for linen manufacture; The Sirocco Works who invented and made the world's first air conditioning system; the RV Hospital in Belfast who had the very first air conditoning system in the world; Harry Ferguson of Tractor fame; John Dunlop who invented the pneumatic tyre; James Martin who invented the now-famous ejector seat for military aircraft; the birthplace of the US Rangers in WW2; and the family homes of no less than seventeen American Presidents., Wild Bill Hickock, and Davy Crockett;(although he was the son of an immigrant Hugenot family. The list could go on, and I could add that the US Constitution was ffirst printed here. so when you feel the need to give even a brief historical synopsis, you need to first to study the city before making pronouncements that are off the mark.

Reg condemns inaccuracies, then states that Gulliver’s Travels was written by Lewis Carroll! It was Jonathan Swift!
