Christmas Shopping Made Easier




On street parking in Listowel is free every afternoon from now until Dec 19 and all day during Christmas week.

Remember this?







Do you remember safety matches? They were the ones with the black tips. They were originally called "safety matches" because they only lit when struck on the side of the box. Matches with red tip could be struck off of practically any surface.
I wonder if anyone made the baked cod recipe.

Yesterday I told you about the Princess Mary tin which brought some cheer to the trenches during WW1. Jim Halpin has been in touch to tell us that he has one such tin in his William O'Dell collection in his war museum in Church Street, Listowel.
