Hi,

Here goes my advertisement for the Northern Ireland tourist board.

This was written by someone in Portstewart. Beautiful little seaside town on the North Coast. He was looking out across the harbour at dusk..... there was a pretty sunset..... there was a boat.......

If he had any sense he was sitting in Morellis eating a huge ice cream sundae at the time.

I used to live about 5 miles away from Portstewart it had a great beach I used to walk my dog along.

Here's some trivia... Sunday nights they used to have the "crawl". The main street ran along the shore with the harbour at one end and a roundabout at the other. You parked your car somewhere along this stretch in the morning then walked home. Then in the evening you went back and sat in your car, watching the other cars crawl up and down the road. If you saw someone you liked the look of you phoned the local radio station and they would play a request for "the pretty girl in the red ford escort" and you'd go off to Morrellis for some ice cream.
