    Its more like txt spk. Basically, talk in full words. Simple spelling and grammar mistakes happen to all of us, but txt speak which is what I would say your doing - is very hard to make out.

    Lived for years in London, Dublin, Limerick, Cork, Wicklow, Wexford and Tipperary and moved to Waterford 10 years ago. No question, County Waterford is A 1 and streets ahead of the rest. Of course it could be better but thats up to the people living in the area and no one else. Too many people talking the place down. Up Mahon Falls for the Sean Kelly Tour of Waterford last Sunday and proud to be from Waterford. Great buzz.

    Living in Sligo, but I'm a Woodstown gal myself. I miss the Sunny South East, the Wesht has nothing on it.

    Oh, best things about Woodstown: The scenery - it's one of the most beautiful places in the country. The way I used be able to walk to and from work (in the Sara) along the beach - what a commute!

    Bad things: The price of land/houses. There is absolutely no way I will ever earn enough to buy/build there. Ever. :( Which means my parents will have to live forever so I can go visiting. :)

    Cant your parents just leave you the land / house? I know those areas you have to be related to build.. dont think its that expensive tho..

    Not much land there. And I've two sisters too. Doesn't seem like it'd be very fair for me to get the house just 'cos I'm the eldest. :) My parents have said that they'll most likely sell up and move to the village when they retire anyway. They see no reason to just give us a house they worked hard to pay for. Which is fair enough!

    I haven't heard that. My cousin (who grew up next door to me) had to buy in Waterford 'cos she couldn't afford to even buy a site at home. And if you had to be related to people in the area, I think all the doctors who've built in the area in the last number of years would have found it a lot harder....

    Sadly the whole Woodstown/Dunmore East area is a prize example of how you can build what you want, where you want, as long as you slip a few bob to the right people.

    Spent many many summers (and plenty of winters) in Dunmore East, could literally write a travel book on the place. Granddad was born and raised in Killea, and family owned a mobile home in Dunmore until recently. If there's one place on earth I could live it would be Dunmore East.

    Those pubs should remain open at all times. Keeps a lot of the knackers from other pubs.
