   Lots of Dubs used to cross to Liverpool every week & draw there as well as at home! Not to mention the old scam of declaring tribes of children in Ireland to the British taxman...

Swapping insurance cards was also commonplace; I' ve often wondered why it was that, when Joseph Murphy of JMSE died a couple of years ago, the (British) death certificate gave his name as 'John' (cf. the Irish Times of the day)!!!

Ah, the good old days before computers...

Spent part of a summer in the early 'Seventies painting the student study bedrooms in the London Business School, by the way. Never want to see soft sheen magnolia, or white emulsion, ever again!
