Few years back Paddy barked at too much light & space. Didn’t seem that bothered about barking at The Sea, Sand, nothing specific. Just… I need to bark at the whole world in front of me.

Fair enough, apart from Lobscouse. A Viking culinary delight. We brought that to your shores a while ago. Mostly around Liverpool but also Blackpool, which were both towns we set up to trade with Dyflin, one of the ports we held in Ireland at the time. BTW, Dyflin means black pool!
