Right, whether you discovered a new cafe, found out that Mavis 2 doors down is on Fab  (could come in handy  ) or you quit work early to grab a Teddys ice-cream 
Feel free to share something random, quirky, unusual or funny from your week so far!  |

A lady in "Terenure" sent me an address to price a job for her. I popped it into Google maps but could only find a road of the same name near the Walkinstown roundabout. I went to that address and knocked. It was her alright, but she wasn't a bit happy when I pointed out that it was Walkinstown and very much not Terenure. 
I've had a number of similar experiences with people in "Castleknock" over the years and it always amuses me.

They have a stone carved out on the side of the road saying Terenure

Had a person I worked with sound very unwell. Wasn't sure how to help.Found out about a service operated by 999 It's called Pathways. A medic team visited person within an hr of me calling and she was admitted to hospital. I had never heard of this service so just passing it on.It was brilliant when your not sure how to help. |

First time I heard of Pathways. Fair play to you for doing what you did, hope she is getting better. |

Insecurity I think
Best example I ever saw was the good people of Ballymun Avenue getting there 40 year old road name changed to Glasnevin Avenue to avoid being confused with those 'awful' Ballymun people.
Their sensible neighbours in even bigger and more expensive houses on Ballymun Road turned the opportunity down as they felt it was a pointless excercise in snobbery. |
