I thought so too. Went in once for a nose and it smelled funny. Put me right off since...... has it improved any since?
I didn't notice a smell when I was in there. Mind you, it was a warm day and they had the shop door open!
I do notice that second hand and charity shops here don't clean the clothes they receive as much as they perhaps should. I volunteered in a charity shop in the UK for a while and all the clothes were steamed to within an inch of their lives before being put on sale. The worst charity shop I was ever in was in Longford. The clothes absolutely stank it was disgusting! :eek:0 -

Was in Tom Tailors on Saturday too.. some nice stuff but as usual, we're getting screwed with the euro price as compared to the sterling equivalent.
Ah well, c'est la vie I suppose!
although the only other tom tailer near us is in germany, although we're probably also screwed compared to main land euro prices as well 0 -

First bus arrives at airport at around 8.10 in the morning. Single fare is €3.10. Bus starts at the Station and picks up beside the Glasshouse.
and first flight is about 30 to 40 mins later, thankfully not to far to walk from check in to departuresThe last bus is at 6.30 from the Car park in strandhill.
Unfortunately the bus doesn't pick up from the airport.
Not sure why!
it does on request, you need to ring the bus station is advance, am quite surprised though the bus times dont co-inside with the flight times, theres about an hour or so between the dublin flight arriving and the bus leaving0 -

ah.
for the record I'm actually not really fond of black liquorice. Red liquorice, on the other hand... is my favourite candy. And it's unavailable here waaaaaaaah
Edited to add: Hear that!? Sligo should get one of those posh candy shops that stock candy from around the world. Preferably in the next few weeks before I go to Galway. Which hopefully has such a candy shop. I need Twizzlers.0 -
Indeed.. brought back 2 big bags of Red Twizzlers from Orlando!for the record I'm actually not really fond of black liquorice. Red liquorice, on the other hand... is my favourite candy. And it's unavailable here waaaaaaaah

Sligo also needs a store that stocks New Balance runners.. Elvery's have one or two pairs occassionally but that's it! 0 -

I'd love an Easons in Sligo, I think we're the only large town that doesn't have a branch, or am I wrong. Is someone keeping Easons out of Sligo? Having said that, I think if we were going to get an Easons in there it would have been listed with the other 'big name' shops, so don't hold your breath.
I'd love a Heaton's too, the one in Carrick on Shannon is great, but I agree, it would be suited to a more out of town location like Carrick's branch.
Easons have been in O'Connell Street for the past year! - they are a franchise.0 -
