You may have noticed recently that the days are getting slightly longer which means Ireland's favourite conversation starter is back.
Coming out with 'Isn't there a grand aul' stretch in the evenings?' is a surefire way to break the ice with any Irish person at this time of year and people are already making the most of it.
Here's a selection of our favourite references:

"This is it."
"Sure, look." etc etc.
