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.

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
