    I was in the pub yesterday watching the rugby, and was informed by another regular that there are 7 streets in Waterford which have colours in their name. We got 5 of them, but then the guy had left so couldn't find out the other 2.
    Can anyone help?

    Red square doesn't count, as it's not it's real name.

    I won't say the 5 we got, so people can play themselves.

    Blackfriars
    Greyfriars
    Yellow Road (Upper and Lower don't count as separate, so I was told)
    Green Street
    Paddy Browne's Road

    Jury is out on Penrose at the moment. :p

    The Red Road.
    Upper yellow Road and Lower Yellow Road. They should count as they are seperate roads.

    Housing estates don't count I'm afraid. I had suggested Hazelbrook, but it didn't count.

    You'd have Ballybricken Green as well.
    I think it's just roads and streets though.

    Would that still be classed as being in the city?

    Finally met the guy again last night, and asked him what were the seven places. His response:
    'Oh eh....I think there's actually only 5. My bad'


    Bastard! :mad:
