Talking over breakfast I forgot to wish OH Happy St Patrick’s Day so he got a bit iffy so I asked - What does St Patrick’s Day mean to you?
Dog Show, he replied.
DOG show I said.
Yes he said - as a small boy we always went to the Dog Show(s).
Did your family show dogs?
Yes, sometimes, but that wasn’t the reason we went to the dog show.
So why?
Because all the pubs were shut and the only place you could get a drink was at the Dog Show. Once we were in there and a man stood on the dog’s tail and the dog shrieked and the man said - b….y stupid place to bring a dog.
Apologies to all animal lovers but typical Irish logic and had to be repeated.
