    Just wondering, where in Dublin you can buy Royal Wedding memorabilia?

    The shops up North are doing a roaring trade this month in Royal Wedding cups, mugs, plates, tea cloths, flags, tea pots, beer tankards, ash trays (very non pc), fridge magnets, dinner sets, trays, clocks, shot classes + loads more stuff too . . . . .

    Just tried to order two Royal Wedding dinner plates up North, all sold out . . .

    Any shops in Dublin selling Royal wedding mamorabilia?

    The shops in town could be making a fortune by selling Royal wedding momoribilia, just this morning I tried to oreder an extra two Royal wedding dinner plates from a shop in Belfast, but they are sold out until next week :mad:

    PS the plates are €16.95 each and they had three boxes (twenty in a box) only last week!

    There must be somewhere in Dublin selling Royal wedding stuff ?

    I wouldn't say there is a huge interest in royal wedding memorabilia in Dublin. Culturally, memorabilia isn't a big thing over her and any English friends I have over here wouldn't be bothered with it. So I don't think Dublin shops would make a fortune. I see you lived in London for years, surely some of your friends could send some stuff over? If they won't, the border is a very short drive away.

    (If you are trying to get a rise out of people it isn't working ;))

    Got a mixed box of memorabilia from a shop in Belfast, mugs, plates etc for friends & family, but I am two dinner plates short, hence the last minute query in Dublin! I want the plates before Friday, and the last order from Belfast took four days to arrive here, & I had to pay postage.

    No rise to be had, lots of interest in the wedding here in the Republic.

    A serious question, the plates retail for €16.95 each, and I'm still none the wiser as to where to get them down here.

    I might be all wrong but in Kerry I think they make a wild goat the King during the Puck Fair, an annual event
    Bit of useless info for you :pac:

    Have you tried Argos?
    They might have a supplemental catalogue.
    And if they don't, they realy should from a business point of view

    Just go up North.

    They're probably doing jobs lots of wedding merchandise with kick the pope tea-towels.

    Instead of starting a new thread, does anyone know where I could get a good English fry up and watch the wedding around lunch time?

    To be quite honest very few people in the Republic could give a shíte about the wedding.

    Now that is just not true :rolleyes:

    Even RTE have decided that there will be a large enough audience for the Royals, here in good auld Eire.

    Strangely enough, that seems to be untrue. I know loads of people who'll be watching, some of them even taking time off to watch it.

    Thats what you'd like to think ;)
    I applied for OT on Thur instead of Fri so I could catch it.
    Most girls love a good wedding and I'm sure that many of the Irish wedding forums will be buzzing on Friday ;)
