I remember seeing them, Dee, but neither had a branch near where I lived, so we never shopped there. CB >|< |

Hi Dee, I remember Home and Colonial and International., bacon slicers and the general smell of the place. Is it my imagination or did Home and Colonial get bought up by Sainsbury's? Ann Glos |

Anne and June, not sure who took them over CB, were they regional do you think? There was one in Hoddesdon, I'm sure, and one in Hitchin Dee x |
