Reliant Regal Supervan 3 at Tony O Connor Car Sales, Croom.
One has to be forgiven for thinking they were in Peckham as i passed by the Tony O ‘Connor Car Sales http://www.tonyoconnorcars.com/ today in Croom,Co.Limerick.The Trotters Independent Trading Company Van was parked outside the premises.This is a model of the same van which was used in the famous TV Series Only Fools and Horses which is currently enjoying re runs on several TV Channels at present.The Yellow coloured Reliant Regal is a small three -wheeled van manufactured by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth in England.It could also be driven on a motorcycle licence as it is a three wheeler,Dell Boy had it all worked out!

The Olympics are upon us again ,let’s spare a though and wish our Irish Athletes the best of luck .To find out who is actually representing us IRELAND see the link http://www.olympicsport.ie/Profile.aspx?pageid=68
This Olympics like many previous Olympics are not without their problems and political attachments and the Scourge of “Drugs in Sport” of course.The first Olympics i saw was 1972 ,overshadowed by the massacre of the Israeli Athletes by the Black September ,later there was Moscow /Los Angeles The Cold War boycotts etc etc…
