THE Margin was pleased to see the MGM cinema in Belfast doing its hands-across the religious divide bit recently in its newspaper advertisements. The MGM, now owned by Richard Branson's Virgin Group, was screening the classic cult movie Withnail And I which is currently on re-release. For the first couple of days of the run the MGM advertisement said it was showing With Niall And I, but this was subsequently changed to With Neil And I.

Finally having appealed separately to both sides the cinema advertisement went for the middle ground hitting upon the proper title Withnail and I.
