What a country to live in then.
Thanks Mary. The generations of women after you appreciate your trailblazing.
God be with the days that you had to write to the family planning clinic in bray for a supply of condoms. 1979 approx. Or else get a prescription.
1979? That’s a lot of condoms. You bragger!
The clinic isn’t replying anymore. :-)
