We were both searching for information on different projects that we are working on - Jack's is far more important than mine of course!

Whilst searching through the Newtownards Chronicle from 1916, I came across this unusual advertisement - Although I am very much a Newtownards man, I reside in Bangor, and us Bangorians tend to round our words a little more - that the folk fae Newton!

Here is the proof of imported speech therapists from Bangor to N'Ards as far back as 1916!
