Thanks again ollie for your insight and memories of old Castlebar.Yes standing at the corner watching all the girls go by.You dont see guards doing point duty any more,what a pity,there constant presence kept you on your toes.The most place you did not want to be stopped was at the cross junction at Parsons,[It used to be 2 way in old times].If you had no hand break,it became a balancing act,in first gear,clutch accelator.
