    Cool thread, I'll get through it all sooner or later.

    A motorbike shop on the quay, back in the '70's and '80's. The bus depot on the opposite side of the road to where it is now. Buying football goalie gloves in Alfie Hales on the quay, yellow cloth ones with strips of green rubber stiched onto them.

    A monk/friar walking a dog, catching us on the mitch. Think he had been in WW2.

    A pub in Sallypark with different coloured lights outside. A shop in George's Court selling patches for your denim jacket - Status Quo, Police, The Jam, little electric guitar badges.

    Going to the credit union around the corner from the Dominican.

    Does anyone remember a big mural with a Viking theme, on a gable end somewhere near or on Broad St. ? Or my imagination gone mad ?

    edit - Wow ! Just going back through the thread, copped the facebook link https://www.facebook.com/oldwaterford and there's the mural. Cuchulainn, actually. Thanks.

    Don't remember him being anywhere else - he was in a little shop unit at the Regal Cinema in The Glen.

    The 2 Patrick's Street Barbers were McCabe (near where Momo is and O'Donoghue's where Black Tie was (or Phelan's shoe shop)

    Did he perhaps work in O'Donoghues prior to opening in the Glen?

    Of course my memory is probably playing tricks :) but I thought I had remembered Jim cutting my hair on Patrick's St.

    I remember my father taking me and my brother into O'Donoghues on Patrick street and sitting on those planks of wood to get the haircut! I forgot all about that place and it brings back some nice memories ,i wish there was barbers like that still around.

    A job for life - teenage lads smirking to themselves because Uncle Gerry has a job lined up for them in the local factory once they turn 18.
