Does it not tie back to somehow 'The Auld Alliance' ?
Perfect opportunity to use your favourite word here

Prolly does. But shoving "ECOSSE" on the car's rear end tells you something about the idiots who did this.
For your gustation, the following people are perfidious, imo:
Macron
Varadkar
Von der Leyen
Sturgeon

Erm.....Welsh Gaelic?
Anyway whenever I go over the Irish sea to Eire and N Ireland I always make sure I have the Welsh flag sticker with 'Cymru' on it on the back of my car.
I was told it's a good way to help me not be mistaken for being English. Those over there that do have a problem with the UK apparently only have it in for the English. They (also apparently) have no problem with us Taffs.

Re: Goodby GB, hello UK.
I've had no problems in Ireland as an Englishman. The history doesn't extend to how people interact on a personal level with you.

Neither have I, as the taxi driver that picked me up at Dublin airport said.
Taxi Driver “Where you from”?
Me “Liverpool”
Taxi Driver “Welcome home”

Re: Goodby GB, hello UK.
Everywhere I have been in the world people are nice, to be honest. They like that someone is visiting their country, they're proud of their country and they want you to have a positive impression of it. If anything England is usually a positive thing because not only have they heard of it but they often also have some degree of cultural reference for it such as our music, literature (i.e Harry Potter) or the Premier League. They'll want to talk about one of them or a place such as London or just practise their English.

Re: Goodby GB, hello UK.
Wasn't the same for me. I walked into a pub in Ireland once and they were all speaking English.
As soon as they heard my accent they all started speaking Gaelic.
Oh wait....

It’s a language of the Celts but there never was a root language called Celtic. The correct family name is Brythonic (or Brittonic). Welsh, Breton, Cornish, Irish and Scots Gaelic are all Brythonic languages.
