Met a lively group from Finland calling themselves Vikings cruising on the Shannon
last evening who had very good English and were really enjoying themselves.
Two English couples called in having travelled from Carrick on Shannon to Banagher.
A fuel top up in Banagher cost £70 sterling. They had been in Ciaran Flannery's Pub
in Athlone and were intrigued with the collections on display. They were surprized to
learn that Ciaran was from the Shannonbridge area. Bridie Carry advised them on
what to buy for their breakfast including Tullamore rashers, Denny white pudding,
Tullamore sausages and she tested the eggs they bought for freshness. Bridie claims
that a fresh egg will keep rotating when spun.
