Oh, when we went to the 'bottom shop' it was owned by a lovely man ...Frank and his wife Edna(I think that was her name). It was an old fashioned corner shop that sold everything, but there was definitely no smell of incense back then.

G - there was no interest at all......the page where what you had bought was ripped out of the exercise book once you had paid up and it was taken back home to give to your Ma, to show that she was in the black again.
When we had cash money I used to get sent to the co-op so that we got the divi.
