    Due to a retirement Athlone is down to one traffic warden. I believe only one warden will be on traffic duty as the norm from here on out.

    Fine by me :D

    Just a heads up for anyone driving up Northgate Street tonight: the traffic lights are stuck on red heading to church street/town bridge so you have to drive through them even if they're red.

    Don't get caught like an eejit sitting at a red light for ten minutes before finally figuring it out like I did earlier.

    And be cautious going from Church Street to the bridge because cars will be running the red light at the top of Northgate street.

    The above remark is really sad and incorrect.
    Where has our education system gone wrong in this country when people use such bad language.

    Dont you know that names always begin with capital letters
    so it should be John with a capital J
    and Bollocks with a CAPITAL B :D

    Lol I remember him. In fairness there weren't half as many cars around then. Fairly crazy end to his life as I recall, he was brutally murdered in Dublin when he was 80 years old.

    I know people don't like traffic wardens, but with the way some of the muppets in this town abandon cars at the side of the road, we could do with a few more wardens.

    Jaysus, I'm living in Buncrana in Donegal which is about 1/4 the size of Athlone and there are 2 up here - can't so much as run in the shop for a pack of fags without getting caught

    That's a blast from the past, I remember this. He got a very bad name for himself in Dublin, serial stalker (one of his victims committed suicide). Hassled a lot of people relentlessly and made a lot of enemies. I think his killer died in jail.
