On a wet and pretty miserable day in Dublin, and most of the North and East of the country, O'Dea takes us down South to a rainy day long ago. A man in a Mac (that was a Mackintosh raincoat long before Apple) passes a lady in a very old-fashioned cloak on a street in Bandon, County Cork.

15 September 1961 was a Friday. A moist Friday. Standard Eight or Ten ?

Mr O'Dea photographed the lady in the cloak coming as well as going - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000305725

If you are a sole agent for Irish made Winstanley boots are you an agent for the soles only or for the whole boot?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia It might be a Standard 8 because it has no chrome grille bars but I've seen a picture of a Standard 10 with that single chrome moustache.

Good heavens! A wet day in Ireland! Ah well, thank's to my mother's genes, the sunshine is wasted on me.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/scorbet There are two Morris Minors in the photo beyond the Henkel( Correction Lambretta) scooter. KI reg is from Waterford. The first Minor has a D as a first letter of it registration. But top of second letter is horizontal. Second car could be O'Dea's. The car across the street with ZF Co.Cork reg is a Rover P4. Standard 8 or 10 could be a Deluxe model with its upper chrome bar.

Looks like an old Lambretta LD or later model scooter

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] I was referring to second car along from scooter both are Minors and reg on first one rules it out as O'Dea's but second Minor may be his. RoverP4 was only listed in my comment as identifying it as make and model. I have done an edit on earlier comment as I see how it could be misread.

I looked for a local weather report for Bandon or Cork, but failed. The nearest I could find was this from the New Ross Standard for 15th September 1961 , which might or might not have applied to Co Cork
The rain on the 15th in Bandon might have been a side effect of Hurricane Debbiesuckindeesel
The "O'Leary" shop is still there and has become "O'Leary and Daughters" Gets a mention by the NIAH, as do several other shops along there. [www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/20844...]

I see some signs for brands not so long gone: Players Please, my brand Gold Flake Ilford (film) Winstanley (Irish made shoes and boots) HMV Many of the cars would have been Irish assembled, a situation which continued until our joining the EEC.

Sunday teatime (as it used to be when nearly everything was closed and boredom set in). "The long dark teatime of the soul". Someone said that but I don't remember who🤔
