The impending demise of Rocky`s, aka Thomas Moran and Sons, brought to mind an incident during a history or geography class in the old St. Geralds when Pete Filan, (who was`nt usually prone to administering any number of the best) but on this occasion, in exasperation with the antics of a classmate, handed him a few bob and instructed him " Go down to Rocky`s Mr. ***** and buy a cane and we`ll see who the smart fellow is around here." Of course Mr. ***** reported back that Rocky`s were out of canes that day and we all tried to keep serious faces , including Pete.
