Well I haven't. In the 70's & part of the 80's there were jokes going around that started 'there was an Englishman, an Irishman & a Scotsmsn' and jokes going round about how unintelligant Irish men were.
Like I said earlier though, stereotypes do exist. Last time I was in NI, I was told that an unemployed man had been caught without a TV licence and was told that if he bought one immediately, it wouldn't go any further. Problem was, he had no money but didn't want to end up in court.
He eventually raised the money and bought a licence. When asked how he'd raised the money, he replied "I sold the television"! I was told that this was factual & not a joke, but i'm not so sure
