We can't change history but we should look for the truth of how things really were.

Opinions always change as truth is uncovered.
Did we ignore Jimmy saville,Rolf harris,The catholic church?....No, we set the record straight and that's all I am doing here.

Gladstone may have been one of the best of a bad bunch but he was still a very big part of that bad bunch!
People are free to keep their head in the sand if they are afraid of change but some will be happy to hear the truth

What you’re doing is trying to inflict your opinions on others. I, for one, am not biting. I prefer to make my own mind up and let others do likewise. Anyway, this thread isn’t for such debates.

Two schools in england are distancing themselves from gladstone.thats not an opinion that is truth

Is there anywhere in Clonmel that would be able to etch/engrave a christening cup.
I tried Duggans down the narrow street but he said it wouldn't fit in his engraver machine. He also said no jewellers in town could do it. It's only slightly larger than an espresso cup so it's not massive.
Any ideas?

maximo31 · 02-08-2020 3:44pm

Try Annerley Jewellers on O'Connell street. They did a small engraving for me recently. Quirke Jewellers in Cahir is another option.

Sure why don't we just give all the names numbers like in the US. 1st Street. 2nd Street. 3rd Street.

But I suppose the people in 2nd street would object to being discriminated against vs the people in 1st Street.

Maybe we call them by colour. Red Street. Blue Street. Yellow Street. Orange..... Oh wait some people may be offended by the use of that colour.

What about local celebs and famous people. Frank Patterson, Anne Anderson, Adi R..... Well maybe not.

So maybe international celebs actors business people etc. Daniel Day Lewis, Nelson Mandela, Elon Mu...... amm Ellen D...... OK not that one so.

There is only one answer. Have a computer spit out a random series of letters and numbers to form the new designations.

cR56OenN Street
iabQfW3v Street
2KyHKsw9 Street
1YtkUI85 Street
QEgqXa3o Street
b7ppYd9U Street
HW4D34YL Street
qXSqFblR Street
TuPJGDlp Street
NZeyFZNb Street

You know it's the only safe way to go. No one could be offended that way.

It's Gladstone Street and always will be because of what he did for Ireland. He might have been flawed but we are recognizing his achievements not his flaws. People need to get over themselves.

A simple solution is to call it Lough st. again,the name it was given by the Irish people before british interference.

I have no idea what achievements you are talking about or what he did for Ireland.He did what he did for britian and the queen.

He created the Irish coercion act which allowed people to be detained for as "long as was thought necessary".This was the first form of internment without trial for the Irish people.
"The act was the first of over a hundred such Acts that aimed to suppress the increasing discontent in Ireland with British rule. England was seen in Ireland as responsible for having turned the failures of the potato crop into the Great Famine and the loss of 20% of its population."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercion_Act#Ireland
How was that act any good for Irish?

Another town in the uk thinking of removing a statue of gladstone over his links to the slave trade.https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/18595093.blackburns-gladstone-statue-moved-twice/

Gladstone had a great mind for making money,but it was at the expense of slaves any irish land owners that would not bow to the queen and pay taxes.

Wouldn't John Hume St be a good suggestion on the day that's in it. Can't imagine anyone having any objection to that.

John Hume RIP

Its pretty vile in fairness. The whole place seems to gang up on people that arnt liked, could be something as simple as not being from Clonmel or breaking up with a local from well known family. The systematic abuse thats dished out is crazy . Making up the most vile stories untill there is no option but to leave.

I have Virgin TV and broadband. TV is ok but the lack of proper ITV is annoying. Their broadband is generally considered best of the lot, certainly I have no complaints and they came through for me when lightning blew my modem last January..
You need to be on their cable though.

It depends on where you are in town. If Siro is available I’d be going for that. If you check out the virgin site and siro site they will tell you if they are available in your area.

Highly recommend, we have been buying a few bits since they started, great to support local producers, and the quality is fantastic. Really friendly too.

That's a definite rabbit hole. Amazing selection. Thanks for the link.

Clonmel isn’t as bad as some.

I was in Waterford city yesterday for some specialised shopping - started in City Square and then out to the pedestrian shopping part. What a sad, depressed place. Shops closed, Buildings abandoned - drove out to the link road for more shopping - the whole place looked shabby and grubby and very little choice in the way of women’s clothing.

Clonmel looks a million dollars compared to Waterford - shop fronts are newly painted and look fresh and clean. We could do with some more businesses opening but looks much more upbeat and successful than Waterford.

You clearly weren’t mixing with a nice crowd - most people in Clonmel are very pleasant and friendly.

Pleasant and freindly on the outside. Bitter and twisted on the inside. In my experience.

Waterford is a great place to shop. Shaws is brilliant. Many more too including computer shop . Clonmel has lots of closed abandoned shops too

Shaws is great, as long as you are over 50!

And they have 1 computer shop, wow, fab.

It’s dead and has been dying for years, needs huge influx of money and business - dreadful place for shopping (unless you are over 50 and like computers)

how many computer shops has Clonmel?. If wateford is dead, then Clonmel is buried.
that is not true re shaws. they have young clothes too. you can browse there without being jumped on like in clonmel and hassled to buy. Simply not true to say only over 50's and computers.Waterford has loads of struuf for youth

actually there are are a couple of the computer stores but i could not recall their names or the shopping centres they are in when i wa son my phone last night. I think one is on the Tramore road that may be Harvey Norman. Also Currys. Computers waterford

And a computer clinic

There is also a Soundstore and a Halfords

Waterford certainly has Clonmel beaten for shopping.

mossie11 · 20-08-2020 10:19pm

Anyone know when the water is due back on?

freshpopcorn · 20-08-2020 10:30pm

I am from County Cork and I know people who go to Clonmel and Waterford(Occasionally).
People are fine in both places.
Poppyfields is good enough. One thing it's lacking is something like Homestore and More and a JSYK.
I can't see Currys, PC World expanding similar with Harvey Norman.
To be fair a well stocked Shaws caters for a lot of ages groups.(I don't know about the one in Waterford tough.
The Showgrounds is alright, could do with Carraig Donn, The Works, Flying Tiger, Sketchers and some type of sports shop. There's no point of saying places like Zara, Topshop, etc because it will never attract them.

You really shouldn't be surprised that more than 1 person thinks Clonmel is a s--thole.

I don't think I've ever gotten a reply like "What a lovely place" when I tell people I'm from Clonmel. I'm almost embarrassed to tell people where I'm from now.

So if you criticise Clonmel, you must be on social welfare and be getting a free house? And who says people in these situations shouldn't be free to criticise what they want?

It's attitudes like yours that make Clonmel such a horrible place.

i don't have a free house and do not have any house in Clonmel and wouldn't want one.
I have two houses both earned, neither in Tipp. It just shows the small town mind when the only insult is free houses
