A Limerick woman shares her wit and wisdom on country men, Dublin women, pints of porter, buttermilk, and marriage.
In Abbeyfeale, County Limerick Frank Hall meets local woman Kitsy Cotter who believes the recipe for a happy and healthy life is a pint of porter every day, either before or after breakfast.
It would put the cockles in your heart going.
Kitsy Cotter is determined to fix up a local man with a Dublin girl who he says are more classy and have better legs than country girls.
He says the girls down here are too country.
Buttermilk according to Kitsy Cotter is the secret to a schoolgirl complexion. While she believes that country men make wonderful husbands the key to a successful marriage is for couples to keep away from the bedroom as much as they can.
The country man is great. He's a great ole sticker.
