charity shop in #Armagh counter staff notices my accent.
him: where are you from?
me: working in #Newry, living in #Monaghan
him: ah, I was born in Glaslough St in Monaghan. my da and his two friends Paudge and Thomas were on the run from #Derry...
[proceeds to tell his entire life story]
him: ...and then only a few months ago Paudge sat down on some steps, said he felt unwell. Died a few days later of the Covid. Terrible thing.
me: ... do you take card?
him: no, and no Euro either.
