I found a short sleeved drill top in a charity shop. It's ideal for my walking and gardening adventures. I thought 8 Euros was a bit steep. I was called a tight wad and it's for a good cause: Ireland's National Sight Loss Agency.

The Kerry butcher omitted a vital apostrophe, writing dont instead of don't on his sign. Mind you, Kerrymen are famous for their thickness. They are the equivalent of Lancastrians in England.
ReplyDeleteThat means that Kerrymen and Lancastrians have a lot of get up and go and the the two most successful football teams (Liverpool
ReplyDeleteand Manchester United)in England come from Lancashire YP. Even famous Yorkshire celebrities like Michael Parkinson and Sir Geoffrey Boycott support the famous Man U.
If you poke a beast with a sharp stick he growls!
DeleteThere's nothing wrong with some friendly banter across the Pennines YP.
DeleteTere should be a powerful electric fence with border control stations.
DeleteThere once was the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway company YP. They served Thwaites bitter and Hollands pies in the Lancashire carriages. I presume it would be Theakstons Old Peculiar and Tetley's tea in the Yorkshire carriages?
DeleteApologies for mis-spelling "There". Nice of you not to mock me over that!
DeleteNot at all. I often make typing mistakes.
DeleteYP, there probably was insufficient room on the chalkboard to accommodate an apostrophe.
ReplyDeleteApostrophes are massive things.
DeleteDespite the missing apostrophe JayCee don't you think it's a super sign in a shop window?
ReplyDeleteIt makes you smile doesn't it.
DeleteIt did when I read it and again today on the blog. I would have bought some of the potatoes if I didn't have my own growing next Bantry Bay.
ReplyDelete8 euros for the ideal shirt, a bargain to me. However I'm sure my other half would have tried to round it down to 5. Do they bargain, haggle, in Irish stores?
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. You can haggle at carbootsales or markets. I thought eight Euros was enough for something second hand but then again it's raising money for charity.
