think all the Kardomah's closed years ago - we had one in Queen Street in Cardiff - they were coffee shops and they sold those lovely little chocolate cakes wrapped in cellophane - Kunzle Cakes - remember those? |

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. |
