Accommodating misspellings in Rathgar

This notice is outside a bistro in Rathgar.

And on Bloomsday too.

One is reminded of Jimmy O’Dea singing ’Thank Heavens we are living in Rathgar’

“There are quite decent suburbs, I am sure,

— From ‘Thank Heavens We Are Living In Rathgar’, written by Harry O’Donovan and sung by Jimmy O’Dea,
