    Just got back from a couple of days away in Waterford. Spent a pleasant couple of hours wandering around Dungarvan, for some reason noticed that there seems to be two pharmacies on every street.

    Does Dungarvan have an unusually high density of pharmacies or what?

    The answer to your question is actually in your own post.

    Perhaps he didn't get to see the whole town and is just wondering if it was just pure chance that he came across every pharmacy in the town?

    He said that he spent a couple of hours in Dungarvan. Now unless he was walking really, really slowly, I'd say that there's a very good chance that he saw the whole town.

    I think I've reached the level of excitement I expected to reach when I entered this thread.
    Thank you and good night.

    Research (aka wiki) has revealed to me that Dungarvan is twinned with Erie, Pennsylvania and that it's most famous son (Ernest Walton) technically wasn't actually born there.

    Sounds like quite the place. I'd imagine I'd be on meds too if I lived there.

    He was born half a mile from the towns square in lovely Abbeyside. There is a nice park names after him too.

    Dungarvan is the new Dublin.

    It's got more bookies than pharmacies tbh.

    Not at all. For all I know lots of other towns have even more pharmacies per capita/square foot/whatever - I was wondering whether Dungarvan was unusual (or, by contrast, pharmacies everywhere are just as dense but I'd just not noticed before).

    I was wondering to myself how they all survive.
