Miserable Weather Outside
TENS of confused people in Ballyhaunis were said to be ‘relieved’ after an elderly woman confirmed there was ‘miserable weather outside’ while waiting in a queue for the post office earlier this week.
Sources say many customers were disorientated when they initially entered the building, not knowing what the hell was happening outside.
One man said: “I remember having my umbrella up as I was walking down the main Street - tThen when I got into the post office I didn’t need it anymore for some reason.”
“I must have been standing there for ten minutes just wondering what had happened. Then Mrs O’Brien said it was ‘miserable auld weather outside’ to one of the post office clerks.
“Nearly everyone took a sigh of relief.”
“Only for her we’d all have been still standing there scratching our heads and wondering why we were soaking wet.” he added.
Mrs. O’Brien said she came into the Post Office to collect her pension before heading off for some messages: “I usually get my money on a Friday and then head up to SuperValu to chat to my friends and block the entrance there.
“When I was in the Post Office I could feel the anxiety in the air. Sure I just had to tell them what was going on outside.” said the 76-year-old.
Since this revelation - dozens more people have come forward with the news of the miserable weather outside.
Business owners across the town have said many customers are now confirming how wet and windy it is when you’re not inside a building.
“Only for people like that we wouldn’t have a clue how horrible it is out there. At least now I know to wear a rain jacket before venturing anywhere without a roof.” said pub owner George Delaney.
