Sally OâBrien appeared in some of my earliest wet dreams. Thatâs a fantastic memory kid, thank you.
jesus Iâd love a pint of harp now with a drop of lemonade in it, you could fry an egg here in the captial, if you had one
I barely remember Quinnsworth.
Thatâs probably the greatest TV add of all time.
I remember the old L&N on Paddy Brownâs Road in Waterford City @Fagan_ODowd no a Tesco it might have been Quinnsworth too at one stage
I like this one aswell, it reminds me of picking dad up in Ennis at Christmas off Slatterys bus on his way home from London

I was at the opening of the Lisduggan shopping center in 1975. Gay Byrne opened it. I have a feeling that shop was a Londis supermarket first then a Quinnsworth.
L&N was in Broad Street where that little Mall is now. The Hyper was originally an L&N as well with a cash and carry upstairs. The site was previously a Denny pig factory. The Torrie family owned the L&N which stood for London and Newcastle Stores.
Darrers sold clothes as well, most of which were imported from Poland.
My bad, Quinnsworth was PB Road and L&N down town, was only a garsun back then so memory a little hazy
we didnât get a television untill 1992, I had to go to my granmothers house
Opening your first Bank Account and choosing BOI because in 1988 anyone who opened a junior account got an original signed Stephen Roche yellow jersey. Hanging said jersey over your bed for months and refusing to wear it.
And still having that very same bank account number some 30 years later.
