  • The first time my ex-husband came to my house my mum (having ascertained he wasn't the carpet fitter who was also expected that day) came and said to me "he's very tall and he has a briefcase." Think she was impressed.

        Did he have his lunch in the briefcase ?
        The mind is everything. What you think you become.

              lol...I was a bit young for that kind of memory loss. My dad was a farmer...I probably pestered him to take me with him....

                    Oh just read your post above about your dad being a farmer. Where was that?

                      They were farmers...more of a march I'd say...Dublin back then was a different place Katie.

                      • More about the march.
                        The Irish Independent’s front page on this week 50 years ago carried a stark headline about the jailing of 19 farmers and a Government threat to proscribe the National Farmers’ Association (NFA — the predecessor of the IFA).

                          I suppose it must have been more rural on the outskirts then. I would have been 3 in 1966 and my earliest memories of Dublin are of Cabra and Finglas and going to a seaside, I don't know which one. I do remember cows going past my aunt's house on the railway track in Cabra.

                            They used to graze cows in Phoenix Park.....there would be hundreds of them.....and shit everywhere on the football pitches...

                                A lot were owned by local politicians who were also farmers....free grazing one of the perks
