Re: First Supermarket.

I remember the Redmans and the smell of freshly ground coffee. Sugar was weighed into brown bags and butter taken from huge slabs and patted into shape before wrapping . Bacon and cooked meats were freshly cut for you to the thickness desired. I also remember money was put into little containers and wizzed over to the cash desk on wires , the container would be returned with your change in. The supermarket was Tesco and I remember saving the green sheild stamps in books. I collected loads but still had some which were never cashed in when they stopped giving them years later.
