Eamon Mac Thomais says to Hector Grey "You should get a plaque". There is one now on Liffey Street put up a few years later.

[@badgemaking3513]

+Niall de Buitlear Hector says he's 83 years old. The plaque says he was born in 1904 and died in 1985 so either he's fibbing or there's a mistake on the plaque.

Good oul Hector Grey, hè use to come into our shop on Moore st regularly. My boss used to treat him like a king, and overcharge him but let him think he was getting the best of the best.
