In the north east there were department stores called Doggetts. It's still a saying of disbelief round here, as in "If that's the case I'll bare my 'bottom' in Doggetts window. |

As a child I remember going to our corner shop, high mahoganny counters. Every thing on shelves behind the counter, Mr Edwards fetching each item one at a time, cutting and weighing cheese, wrapping it in greasproof paper. He had to go to the back room to fetch potatoes etc. My favorite thing was the large glass jars of penny sweets, the shop was next to the school. |

My niece used to work for them and they were bought out, quite recently though, about 3 years ago. |
