Sure you can still have crisp sandwiches. I had a ham and cheese and onion hunky dory one today.

Is Ireland's Saturday Night still a thing? Many's a man had to get into town on Saturday evening to pick it up. Seems odd now that you'd get in a car and drive somewhere for printed information.

Did anyone ever visit the newspaper archive in Belfast Central Library on Royal Avenue? They've got an entrance off the side street now, and you go into a nice room with big desks where you can ask for your historic papers and they bring them out to you. In my day they escorted you down into the basement using a lift, and you picked the bound volumes of papers off the giant shelves yourself. You had to pick up the phone and ring them up when you wanted to leave, they'd send someone down to escort your back up.

Ach I know, I do too, but it's just not the same.

Returnable lemonade bottles.

Everyone bringing a beer bottle out of the club with them at the end of the night  and smashing them of the paddy wagon as it went by.

The Big Match on Sunday afternoon with Brian Moore hoping your team would be the 'main match '

Was that not Zorro?

Zorro was on as well, but distinctly watching a badly dubbed Spanish Civil war type thing;

Flashing blade, when it was dubbed for comic value it was unreal

Fixed. Don't recall a fruitman round our way but in the early days of VHS a man came round with videos in the boot of his car or a wee van. We also had a library van. Sure that was back in the day when the GP came to the house too.

[BennyCake]

The library van is still about, Tony.

Until recently the fruit and veg man was still active round south Armagh. Ex county man Martin McQuillan would have done the rounds in his van. Also there are a few fish men still do it but mostly through setting up the van in the village and people go to them. Every Friday in Cross to this day

The fair in Cross used to be great. You could get anything and everything. The best craic was when some lad was selling stolen tools and a local realised who owned them.....lads barely got out of the town with their lives!

Don't forget the clothes man, used to call at our house selling jeans, shirts, jumpers etc, you'd have been trying on jeans all night till you got a pair that fitted, they probably didn't fit properly but you were the dog's bollox the next day in your new Rhino's!!
