The one thing NI people won’t be giving up for Lent... social media
Dependency on mobile devices and social media is now reaching ridiculous levels
If “sweets, crisps and chocolate” is the answer, what was the question? Ah, you’ve got it already; it’s what most people in Northern Ireland who observe Lent will be giving up next week.
Bit of a cop-out though, don’t you think? More a timely, enforced diet than a genuine sacrifice, and hardly on a par with the 40 desolate days our Lord spent fasting in the desert.
