Who mails/posts generals? And why do they need an office to do it? Don't generals have staff cars or something to get around? Wouldn't they suffocate in the mailbag? Besides, do you know how much the stamps would cost to mail a general? Some of them are pretty fat.

cj..... has it!

Following the Post Office theme. It was the headquarters of the organising committee of Irish rebels for the 1916 uprising.

When I was in Dublin a few years back, I decided to go and see it. I walked up and down O'Connell Street, but couldn't find it. So, I asked a policeman. He looked at me strangely??? I was standing right in front of it. Embarrassed

Well, only masters can post generals - the so-called General Post Masters.

I think, they have an office since the Thurn and Taxis lost this job in 1806 (and the generals thus the taxis).

FadEx is doing the mailing of some of the "pretty fad" generals (although mostly only retired one's) now (ever wondered, why they got this name?) .

The Irish "Proclamation of Independence" was read in that building (and that's why it is printed in history school books :wink: ).

Thanks cjhsa Smile

Sorry to post a black and white photo, but I couldn't find a good colour pic that didn't have a nice big clue about this building.
