Thanks for that, Terry. I had missed this thread first time round and, as I read it through, the first version jarred at a number of points. Your "original" is much more of the period I remember!

I was brought up in a kind of No Man's Land between Terenure and Kimmage, in the '50's. At that time, if someone came from Rathgar, you could safely assume they were Protestant! Sometime around the '70's or so, the retired PP of Terenure was hesitating about crossing the busy road outside his church. A smartly dressed lady took him by the elbow and escorted him across. As he thanked her, she remarked to hime "Actucally, Father, I'm not one of your flock.". "That's alright, Madam" sez he, "Any port in a storm!"!

Regards
