we used to have a huge wool shop called bellmans, but i don't know whether it was a chain or not.

Anyone remember Yates' soup kitchen in Tib street, Manchester? I remember going when I was little after going to look at all the animals in the pet shops. May.

Hi Karen, I'm still here although OH making sounds about going to bed now Match of the day has finished-typical ! I was brought up in Clayton and remember Redmans in Droylsden and Ashton market. May.

Anne of green gables, I remember the Kardomah in Cardiff, we always went there when I was a child and were shopping in cardiff, loved the smell of roast coffee but can't stand the stuff. Do you remember Meeks shoe shops? they had pastel coloured shoes with matching gloves and bags. They were a must have in the 60's Val

May are you still here, I remember the Maypole in a particular town on the outskirts of Manchester, wondered if we were from same town all those yoears ago.

My dad was a lorry driver and bought diesel and got reams and reams of green shield stamps and every friday night we had to stick them all in a book to order from a catalogue, think Argos took over it.

What about record shops?

I spent many a teenage moment in our local record store (Bradleys).
