I was chatting to a mate of mine on a Ghost rank last week about 'Bootlegging' and he mentioned; "Bollix on that crack, I've heard of drivers delivering Booze to Saint Antony's park !"
With me not knowing where (this newly named) Saint Antony's park was I didn't question him.
A few nights later while I was working the Northside of Cork a FN job popped up fer Saint Antony's park at about 3am, 1km away so I took it. I zoomed in on the screen and it seemed to be fer the Apple corporation up in Hollyhill.
But it wasn't fer Apple, it was fer Saint Anthony's park which is the new name given to the new traveller halting site across the road from Apple.
I pulled up very cautiously and turned my Joe to be ready fer a quick escape before I hit the 'Arrived' button, there was a half burnt out sofa, a mattress and a big pile of black bags of rubbish out on the street outside the halting site, and then I see 3 women approaching me, 2 in dressing gowns with cans in hand and a Third girl decently dressed without a can, the 2 others with cans stay behind while the other girl walks toward me, and I give the Chungwan the benefit of the doubt. In she sits a very pretty girl but a tad of a rough diamond, she is on her phone chatting constantly and one of her comments to whomever she was speaking to on her phone was; "When I see dat Kount, I'm gonna shoot 'em in de Fookin eyeball, I swear !".
To be fair to the traveller lass, her fare was not too far away and the fare was only 8.20, she handed me a Score note and I only requested 8 Euro, but after giving her the 12 Euro change she insisted on giving me the 20 cent as she said; "Ta keep everything Square!".
She was a very rare nice traveller lass, but after finding out where Saint Antony's park is, you can be shite sure I won't ever be going back there again !
