Sure you will have had this before, but with the new must have 'pin' coming in thought back to the payment method in either Baileys/Moffats in Union Street, Accrington. The shop assistant put your money in this brass tube and it was transported upwards by a method of pulleys to the cashier sitting in a wooden box; a little like the judge in court. Put in your receipt and change and sent it back whizzing down to you. Thought this person very grand, and they, in turn, looked down on you with snooty arrogance.
Used to love it, can't think of anywhere else they had this, however, didn't get into other towns much in those days, so probably was.
Have we moved on? yeh, cashier would only last a week these days with all the muggers, etc., around.
