Well, in my opinion Boyle is a good little town--forward thinking and modern--kinda modern anyway

Strokestown---Hmmmm I wud give it 2nd place

Balla--40 yrs behind the times and so are most of the occupants

and the uniformed thugs there are c.....s
only my own opinion so all opinions welcome:cool:

Make a complaint to the Garda Ombudsman Commision or tell the DJ when you appear before him but do not rate a town by the way the Polis deal with you.

Why do you feel its stuck in 1969??

Ah no!! I would never Rate any town by how them fellows do their job just they seem to be a law unto themselves up there--thankfully i don't have much dealings with them but the word is out around there about one in particular who feels he is above the law--I believe his superiors are already aware of him.

I just feel the place has not changed at all in years. there was no hotel until recently and when it did open the locals were extremely critical of it especially the restaurant. And all they know around there is country music:eek:
:eek:

I have to agree, It was absolute torture years ago when the Bus Eireann bus went through Elphin, to pick up nobody..............and nobody got off either. I've a feeling nobody actually lives there, its a virtual town..........maybe like the one on Blazing Saddles, You know the one they made of plywood, a decoy

rusty999 · 27-02-2009 11:37am

[
Ballaghaderreen is known as a one- horse town
They usta be 2 horses there years ago but the mayo feckers took one of them
Then they took half the town as well , so really its only half a town

I think parts of ballaghaderreen is definitely made of Plywood as well
And just like in blazing saddles it has its own Saloon,whore-house,blacksmith for the horse, lots of hay, bullet holes in the walls, a sheriff who thinks he is above the law--they call him the pup up there--and loads of drunken cowboys!!

Don't know about boring, but it's certainly the poorest town I've come across.

A couple of years ago I was doing field service for an IT company, one of the calls was in Elphin, I saw more red number plates that day than I'd seen the previous year.

Class A dive.
