Does any one remember Gobbinlander's disco? lt was on the next block up from the old co-op, & ran from about 1971-74. lt was owned by my dad & his friend tony perkins [ who is still in business as a butcher in ossy.] On the same block @ the same time, my mum had a cafe, & also our family bakery. On the 1st night the disco opened ** which was only selling pop & crisps] there was a riot as so many people turned up, sinks were pulled off the walls & the police came to disperse the people that couldn' t get in!
