Tempus fugit. Yes, it's terrifying. {Presumably inspires fugitive?}

Re: Shops

I think the shoe shop was Stylo. Midgeley’s On Cavendish Street had radios and gramophones and tellies. They also sold me my first Muddy Waters LP! What was the name of the hobby shop opposite where you got your Airfix models?

Re: Shops

Brian - the Anderton girls were called Sandra and Penny.
We also knew Pat Seeking (of Seeking's tobacconist's).
Unlike you I was a regular customer at Fred Sadler's. Fred was a lovely man. You could tell him exactly how you wanted your hair cutting - then you always got the standard cut.
There was a "herbalist's" somewhere on Church Green. Can't recall what it was called.

Re: Shops

Seeking's - not just a "tobacconist's" - more of a generalists as I recall. Brian Moate will no doubt be able to give an exact account.

Re: Shops

Sorry Shaun, I vaguely remember the Seekings, but cant add anything.

The Earliest Chinese restaurant I remember was the 'Mai Kwai'

Don't click on the link in the post above. At best it's an advert. At worst it's phishing.
