Tea?

[classic33]

That takes me back. It must be 40 years since I last had a Longs fish supper. A pint in the Crown and an Ulster fry are in my more recent past - only about 20 years ago

The pair of you will have to meet up for both. Only you ask for the pickled onions this time.

It was a strong stare of rebuke

Owdo

Were they out of pickled onions?

Don't forget yer fishing gear when you do go back.

Dessie had enough for the two of us...
Think I'll google maps the pubs I vaguely remember
Reynolds at Roosky was a fave..
we'd travelled over for a week and they closed down all the fishing the day before we travelled over...

Sura t'is why I said blue can ask for them, they may remember you.

And if you take your fishing gear but can't go fishing, you'll have to find something to do. You managed before.

Good morning all

I asked for a couple of pickled onions.. the look, I still remember THAT look
Ulster fry if I remember was Devines up the Antrim Rd....
I'll be back..

Aye, never seen pickled onions or scotch eggs in a pub here - never understood the onions with beer in any case!

I hope it's not too long before you get to enjoy our hospitality again.

Well, got the lounge/diner done - hard messy work. I'm knackered, and I was just the helper/clean-up man. The plasterer is due in the morning and then we can continue the clean-up.

We have a pause at the moment as a neighbourhood cat has come calling and I don't want to scare him. He arrived just after the mother of all downpours but, apart from is paws, he was dry so he must have just left home and come to ours - he lives at the bottom of the hill.

Chief cook and bottle washer.
Very important job that.

You're knackered and you've getting plastered tomorrow to look forward to.

The pickled egg I'm told is to kill the taste* initially, but you get used to asking for it over time.

*Must be some dodgy pints being drunk.

Might be a few graveyards I want to visit
Maybe a hill or two
Maybe a pint or who knows

Old friends?
The hill I can understand, and the pub visit either side.

The pickled onions on the other hand...

I want to find out before 1795...
Hill either side might be an idea..

only pickled in the Glasgow/Paisley style, raw and acidic...

Family history?

Hill either side would mean three possible visits to a pub.
One more chance for you pickled egg.

One of those is it.

You mean to say you may not be of Scottish birth line!!
You asked for pickled onions, they say the eggs are much the same.

Morning??

Great x? grandfather arrived in Jockland circa 1840, I have his Da at 1795 but nothing before, so if Ulster Scot or heaven forbid English which I think, lines on my mum's side I have back to the 1600s (all info still packed away somewhere)..
As in any west of Scotland line, Ireland shows up at some point but only in my given family name....
all sort of choochters and characters..
I don't want to go that deep into it again but someone has been through graveyards and never really found much....if anything.
The fire in the Public Records office which destroyed most records didn't help, oh well.

You might even have Yorkshire blood in you!

If you've an idea of location(s), try at local(parish) level.

There's www.Findagrave.com, might be worth trying.

In ancient times what is now Scotland was associated with settlement by the Irish. If I remember correctly the Picts, long associated with Roman era Scots, were associated with Ireland, which was once referred to as Pictland.

Maybe Bob is Irish!
