    Does anyone else remember this from the late 80's. A plastic 'bus' that could sit 4-6 kids with a tv screen up front that played cartoons for 20/50p. It was Warner Bros and had Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny, Road Runner and maybe Daffy Duck or Speedy Gonzales. It was in the central 'square' area near the Quinnsworth entrance.

    My brother and I worked out how to make it play for free by unplugging it and then plugging it back in. Though that made them all play in sequence so we ended up seeing the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons at the start many, many times and the last two only once when our parents had a lot of shopping to do.

    I was telling my Dublin husband and friends about it last week and none of them can believe that such a wonder existed and were a little peeved not to have had one in their shopping centres.:D
