    A great programme.

    What I really liked about it was that once he moved away from the town & the cars, you couldn't date it!

    Where was Pat from (I am presuming Crossmolina/Bangor Erris area). He is/was a great speaker (36 years on he may no longer be with us).

    Thanks for posting.

    I think he is from a place called Keenagh and yes it would appear that he is now dead :(

    Great show, love that kind of stuff. Hilarious the shyte about his millionaire friends in London who weren't happy. They could have afforded a hovel in Mayo too i'd say for a few wet weeks in summer.

    There was a good one about an old farmer around Gort in Galway too. Worth the watch.
