    I think you're right. http://binged.it/15QJdBz

    I thought the sign on the wall says Oratory Exam Hall and I went googling from there. Not too sure how I ended up at Carysfort, though!

    Yep, that's it. Being far too pedantic; it's the West Hall Residences and the Oratory Exam Hall at the UCD Smurfit Graduate Business School in Blackrock.

    Thought someone would get it once I posted the un-cropped picture with the sign. Although reading the sign... lol

    Next picture!

    What does "Tops in Pops" mean? Is "pops" an old dublin word for Veg or something?

    I think it's an old Dublin word for potatoes but I may be wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,349 ✭✭✭Mercian Pro


    I always thought it was short for potatoes but with a bit of poetic liberty thrown in.

    It is spuds indeed. There's also another Tops in Pops on Dorset St near the Big Tree pub.
