Gem

by "Cat(h)" <cathy_ie@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Dec 4, 2007 at 04:35 AM

I hope this is the right place to be asking this question:

Many newsagents in Ireland (and Wales, so far as I can see) are called
"the Gem".  I am wondering why that is, what it the origin of the
word, and its meaning?

I hope someone here can enlighten me.
TIA
