    Waitress in Hook & Ladder took away my half-finished coffee after I had to run suddenly to the toilet with my four-year-old son. When I came back and asked about it, there was no quibble, no argument - just a nice fresh, full latte on its way to my table.

    Great customer service... I don't know her name, and can only say that she sounded Eastern European, but that's how you look after customers, even the ones who should try to make it clear that they haven't left! :o

    WCCC is going to take over Mount Congreve. This is good news and the best way that its potential as a tourist attraction can be maximised. It?s an incredible garden and a priceless asset to Waterford.

    A bit more on this, a deal has been struck through the OPW for 250,000 euro annual funding plus a lump sum of 1.3 million.

    I agree Max...but its one thing for the Gardai to come down hard on criminals but its another thing for the courts to..suspended sentences all around!!!

    Yeah, we all know that but gardai can't sentence them so they deserve credit.

    Hear hear. I very much appreciate the time and effort taken by the protestors on behalf of the rest of us. I had no option but to work yesterday, and even if I could have taken the day off, I've got to admit it would have been a big effort to get to Dublin and back. So kudos and admiration to every one of them.

    Congrats to the senior hurlers.
    Marvellous effort.

    It has been many years since we had a championship win over Kilkenny which made this even more sweet.

    1959 ..... 2017 ...... maybe this is the year to win the All Ireland :D

    http://www.wlrfm.com/2017/07/28/bank-of-ireland-is-looking-for-waterford-entrepreneurs-to-contact-it-with-ideas-for-a-startup/

    Great credit is due to all the people behind Boxworks on Patrick Street (don’t want to mention names as I don’t know them all). 19 businesses and over a hundred people are based there now. It is not all about shops in the city centre. Things like this are just as important to the vibrancy of the city centre and its future.

    Likewise on the vibrancy of the city centre theme. This new arts centre deserved great credit to.

    A big pat on the back for Bus Eireann, Waterford for EVENTUALLY running a

    service direct to Dublin from Waterford via Carlow! If only they would run one from Dublin a little later in the night!

    I must say I find the lack of local bus services on a Sunday odd, particularly last weekend when Spraoi was on.

    I went shopping for shoes yesterday. Like a lot of men this is a big deal. So many thanks to Val in Debenhams and Dermot in Shaws whose service was superb and whose shoes I did indeed buy. Well done lads.

    Tough day yesterday for them, weather certainly didn't help. What I saw was nice, but some weren't completed around the Granary and Garter Lane area.
