Thank you also Glastron

Also thanks to MoJo JO JO
Between you all I have finally cracked it as The Belfast street is "LOMBARD" street and indeed DINGLE is the peninsula and The Boston Celtics do exist and the others are now obviously Aileen OToole for the founder of the post and PLASTRON is the swashbucklers protection
SO Thank you all my friends very very much. I really do appreciate your help!
