Oh yes, I had forgotten mcFisheries, wonderful fresh fish. Life is so much more bland these days. Last Wednesday we visited Tavistock, the only 'department'' store was a smallish Woolworths. There was a Dorothy Perkins, a New look, a W H Smith and a Mmackays, those were the only chain stores The remainder of the shops were all small individual stores and there was a wonderful indoor markey (the Pannier market), we had a lovely time browsing.

We had Home & Colonial in Hayes Middlesex & I remember all the things mentioned. I used to work on the checkout of Fine Fare in Southall Broadway & after I had my second child part time at the shop in Hayes. It later changed name to Shoppers Paradise & then just went the way of all flesh. It was owned by Canadian Garfield Weston who also owned a huge bread making company whose name escapes me. Vivienne |

As well as greenshield stamps my dad was a driver and we collected all the football coins from shell. Not sure which year that was but suspect it may have coincided with 1966. Wish I had them now as I am sure they would do well on e-bay. GLoria |
