Anyone remember Kilroy's electronics in Santry. When I was a yummfella I used to spend my after school hours browsing in Peats of Parnell St. Occasionally I'd hop on the 16 bus and head out to Kilroys.

I even wore a anorak.

Did you have a notebook and a selection of coloured pens, Ger?

I made my first crystal set from bits bought in Peats, and remember when my father used to bring me to their old shop in Denmark Street (I'm looking through the mists of time now so if that wasn't the street don't hold me to it).
