Brown sauce for us 😂 I loved it 😋

Did anyone have the “bread man” call to the house? We had the Ormo van call on a Wednesday and the Mother’s Pride van on a Saturday. Ormo guy only sold bread, Mother’s Pride guy was the best because he sold wham bars, football special and the Ireland’s Own 😂 he used to arrive just before the start of Saturday night TV - Baywatch, Gladiators and Blind Date 😍😂

I remember being scared shitless on Barry's ghost train👻
Soda bread with real butter and a cup of tae
Free state Dairy milk,golden crisp and mint crisp
Banging the bin lids when the army were searching
Having to go through a turnstile and getting searched on every st in the town centre
Every summer my eldest says she wants to go on the ghost train, but she’s scared of her shadow so I’ve to tell her every year about how she’d tit herself because it actually quite scary in There 🤣 when She does go on it won’t be with me!

Barry’s ghost train was terrifying. It was for sale a while back, I think the new owners are intending to reopen it?

Who remembers Water World?
