Great Ide, But

...........is it no more than wishful thinking?

I'm all for it in theory, but I really can't see it happening. If anything, attitudes are more polarised and the country more divided than it was when I bailed out in 1990, albeit I returned briefly in the mid 90's.

I suppose that's all we can do really. I worked in a North Belfast flashpoint in the early 1980's with people from the New Lodge and the Shankill, and we all managed to drink together on works' nights out, but seldom on other occasions, although I am still in touch with one very dear friend from that era.

I think the fact children grow up apart and go to schoool apart will need to be addressed before real progress can be made. I had never even met a Catholic until a certain TV presenter and his family moved into the street when I was about eight.
