Off Topic Hull most 'missed' shops...

You do know what a Cash and Carry is don't you Charon?

 

Have they gone? Didn't they sponsor City recently? Blimey

 

Dunno, GLP - I just assumed they'd gone. Maybe I'm wrong?

 

Phew!

 

Lol. Yeah, my Uncles went to Bethune, but I think you're more ages with me than them. I started Hunsley in 87 I'm sure. Twin brothers that were from North Cave I'm sure and were in my year were Scott and Ian Lomax. My cousin was probably in your year (Claire Scaiffe) and my next door neighbour (Sally Jack) possibly.

 

Never could afford the clothes in his shop, but got the odd bargain beaut. in his sale

 

darleys barbers, willerby road, northella.
seem to remember he had 4/5 chairs, 4 were never used.
used to sit there on a saturday morning with a load of old men, all smoking, coughing, spitting.
no matter what style you asked for, you got a short back and sides with grease.
he hated ‘youths’, called them youths on his price list, youths with long hair paid more!
when i hit 18 i used to go to stieners next to paragon railway station. copies of men only and penthouse to read, and a hair wash from a female... happy days.

Houghton & Glaholms paper and sweet shop on Chants Ave. Always went in there coming home from school for 1/4 of broken sweet cigarettes.

 

What was the toy shop on the corner of King Edward and Story St called? I remember it having a downstairs.

 

Did anyone ever pay money for that?

 

Bright Lights by Quel Dommage!

That's a blast from the past. I was mates with the keyboard player and went to a lot of their gigs.

Still find myself humming one of their tunes from time to time. Usually when I'm firefighting some employee based incompetent cock-up, that I suspect has been done with malice aforethought.

Instigator, Instigator. I'm looking for an easy way out and I'm losing my mind.

In fact, I'm humming it right now.

 

If I recall correctly the computer shop was called 'Tomorrows World' - got my ZX Spectrum from there. The 16K version not the posh 48K version lol!

 

Kids don't know what their missing. It's all downloads. You can't download that new tune you like on picture disc

I went to Picky road then Kingston in 66 when it was still a grammar school.

 

Not only is it not very good, I've been singing the wrong words for 30 years.
