    Came across this delightful card on eBay tonight (it can be yours for £29!) but a screen-grab will do me. Apart from the shop and its proprietor who must have been around before the flood, the card was used to enter "The Mystery Sound" competition on the legendary Gay Byrne radio show (1973-1998). I'd love to hear if anybody has memories of the shop, the contestant or anything else... :D

    Thanks for that Facebook link; there even seems to be a dispute about the actual location. I suspect that we will never know the answer to the Quiz though as it's probably subject to copyright or GDPR. :D

    Was there a small shop like that between Termon and Creeslough? Would have been in the seventies or early eighties?

    It was on the side of the road near the old abandoned house, on the straight piece of road on the Termon side of the turn for Glen. The ruins were visible up until recently - haven't travelled that wee bit of the road recently so I don't know if they're still there.
