Echobelly.

Robot is another echo boy who used to sell echos outside the savoy. Why was he called "robot?"

Well when he was a youngfella, he was out playing and a car knocked him down and the wheel allegedly went over his head, and he just got up and walked away. Hence, "Robot."

No, he was there for the Cork Exhibition in 1901.

He's been there ever since.
