Portadown
I have decided to write something positive about Portadown today, after giving it a hard time the other day.
Bertie Martin writes a nice article for the Craigavon Historical Society about his experiences of Woodhouse Street.

Bertie ran a great wee shop selling Men's clothing until a few years ago, it is now owned by Morrows.
I always have fond memories of the shop, I remember being sent in by my Mum to buy a pair of black socks, and the guy serving greeted me with
'What can I do for you today Sir?' This was a great compliment to someone of 8 years of age, and I can still remember how chuffed I felt.
It was also good marketing, I returned many times whenever I needed a suit.

Ya see, I don't trust people that call me Sir too many times. I worked in a shop where I had to call people Sir. I didn't mind that, but it got a bit ridiculous - cos it was in a corner shop - in some backwater hole. The only way I could continue do call people I hated Sir was to do the following:
s/Sir/Cunt/;
So now I get paranoid when people start calling me Sir..
