You know you are in small town Ireland when...
...the breakdown guy arrives from the local garage, looks at you and says "John Hurley's girlfriend". Given that it is the best part of forty years since we parted company and said John Hurley has been married for at least 25 of those years, I'd rather just be me...And I suspect his wife might prefer that too!

As it happens, it didn't cost me anything as it was through my insurance policy.
By the way, have you come across Jim Dix in your work?

I have bought a fair bit of equipment over the years from Dix. They are Cork people I believe.

Indeed they are, West Cork, and Jim Dix is a friend of John Hurley...and also a friend of mine going back years and years.A very decent man, although plagued with a few problems.
