Ghostbusters UK

Hi, I was just wondering why is it that in the Ghostbusters UK signature, it says “Ghostbusters UK, serving the entirety of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland”, when Ireland is not a part of the UK?

Sorry I just find this to be a bit offensive.

Maybe in hindsight it was a mistake but to be fair, we can't just put ‘Serving the entirety of England, Scotland, Wales’ and then have ‘ and Northern Ireland, the rest of Ireland can go to hell’. Of course I think this can be fixed with “Ghostbusters UK, serving England, Scotland, Wales and the entirety of Ireland” (or ‘all of Ireland’) given how Northern Ireland is an official part of the UK.

I'm sorry you feel insulted by that, but was at most a honest mistake.

I'm gonna shift this over to the Fan Projects section given it's about a fanfic franchise.

Yes we could - t'would make great entertainment seeing the EIRE folk have kittens over something so trivial (^_^)

Heh

“Sorry, we can't stop a shamrock uprising… you're normal Ireland, we only serve Northern Ireland.”

No insult intended… but it was a rather trivial matter Shauna.

Okay sorry I think “Ghostbusters UK, serving England, Scotland, Wales and the entirety of Ireland” would be better thank you.

i dont see the problem here because they are not “serving” anyone really.

There, much better.

(Or would they prefer the Torchwood Institute?)

To Zack and Crossing the Streams,

It's more so what the statement represents.
