Is that Fitzwilton House on the front cover?

I don’t think so. Too Tall. There are no names against the photos but that particular one is featured inside under “Foreign Trade” so it must be, eh, Foreign! Fitzwilton today The back cover is Landsdowne House

Yeah, it’s too big for Fitzwilton. Mind you, I think the one on the front is actually more awful, if that were possible.
Oh yes, it is…

Wonder where the drive-in-bank is or which one? There are no logos visible. It seems to be bang in the older part of a city, looking at the backs of the houses behind. Don’t think it’s Dublin, or at least I can’t think of ever seeing anything like it (and I’ve been around Dublin since ’77).

Love this. I just about remember this book. There was a later book from the mid 1980s, a red cover?

Eoin, think you’re right. A red cover one also sounds familiar, must keep an eye out for that.

Blimey, Dubdoug… at the back of the AIB Baggot St!! Worked just around the corner until a short while ago and regularly went there… not in those days though.
The only drive-in anybody should do these days in an AIB is with a 20-ton artic, like yer man did with Quinn’s place!
