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.

I must be thinking of a later date ,it was owned by a asain couple (still lovely) I remember thinking what's with the smell but as I grew up i realised it was incense sticks an I quite liked it.Me and my cousins use to get 10p 'lucky bags' an go sit near where the coal use to be loaded for woodnook bleaching and dying.
