The small shops are still here and Malls are rare outside of the larger cities. My village has two busy food shops, an excellent hardware shop that in the last decade has only failed me two or three times, a pharmacy, a post office, a couple of hairdressers, a decent mechanic, a really good tyre place (it might pay to drive from Dublin to buy four tyres from him), a few pubs, a bookie and of course a big creamery (erm agricultural supplier). The nearest town (not counting a seaside town which is also in good shape for what it is) sports *two* thriving builder's merchants a decent supermarket and a plethora of useful small shops most of which have been there for decades. There are a couple of spots which permanently hold the latest computer or phone repair service. The nearest big city (Limerick) OTOH is a mess, but hey it's Limerick - Tralee and Killarney are both in good shape with busy centres. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
