Not quite on that level but I had a grand uncle who is since deceased who back in the day, courted what would become his wife for the bones of 15 years where they would only meet once a week on a Sunday evening in either a pub in Castleconnell or Clonlara. His bride was caring full time for her infirmed father at the time and her only respite/time away from it was on a Sunday evening.
They tied the knot shortly after her father passed away
Anyway I was in Ardkeen stores this morning there about 1130 and I decided I’d treat myself to three cans of Kinnegar. 3.59 each, but sure I’m worth it.
Anyway I get up to the check out and the young lad tries to put them through and says to me this is happening to me all morning, the till won’t let me sell alcohol. I says take your time and he calls the manager. The manager comes over and takes one of the cans and goes over to another lad and asks him how much are these cans and your man says 3 for 6 euro I think.
And then the manager comes back and keys them in manually for 3 for 6 euro.
