I presume all those who do their shopping in NI will also send their children to be educated there and when sick will think nothing of driving whatever number of miles to attend hospital there. Needless to say if they should happen to fall on hard times I'm certain Her Majesty's Government will give them the dole and reward them with a nice state pension when they retire.

Would I send my children to be educated in the north?
If it meant them not receiving their education in a damp portacabin then yes.Would I travel miles to attend a hospital there?
Hell yes, if I were receiving treatment for any serious illness I would do my best to ensure I were treated in GB or preferably France (Just a short hop to Rennes). I really do not want to be sick in Ireland.
Lets hope then that you won't suffer persistent ill-health in your 50s, as some people do. If you are unfortunate enough to end up in this category, and fortunate enough to enjoy a normal lifespan you won't have any choice but to rely on the state, unless you're Denis O'Brien.As for the dole / pension, I have never been unemployed and I would rather not rely on the state when I retire.
As Caveat stated, we live in a free market and are perfectly entitled to shop where we choose. I’m sure NI has their problems all countries do. But I don‘t agree with this silly patriotic idea that we must shop here. If Irish / foreign retailers simply charged a fair price for their goods and services I would be happy to spend my money here, fact is they don’t. I wouldn’t expect them to be able to match the NI prices but at least they can make the effort. Instead there seems to be a cartel mentality where they simply match each others prices.
Having switch to the German retailers and saved about e2k on our grocery shopping this year, we are seeing how much we can save by purchasing clothes and household goods in NI. When it comes down to it I can’t argue with what’s in my bank account at the end of every month, and that extra cash gives me the opportunity to invest in my own and my family’s future.

.. Well over 50% if not 75% of the cars in the carpark were from the south ..
I think it's about €0.18 a nappy in Lidl (depending on the size/pack). The price above seems to be about €0.14 per nappy (although you don't seem too sure about some of the details) before travelling costs are also factored in.Clubman, I was up in ASDA in Enniskillen the Sunday morning before last. Well over 50% if not 75% of the cars in the carpark were from the south. A box of 64 (68?) Pampers was going for £7. How does that compaire with the going rate in Aldi/Lidle?
