Cliff Walmsleys , used to carry great shirts, think he may have been one of the first to sell button down collars (Ben Sherman ? ) , remember buying them on a Saturday afternoon and taking them home and getting my mum to iron them before a night out , My dad would be in his chair checking his coupon and asking how much were that ? I'd tell him , usually adding a couple of quid to the price and he would go ape , "daft ****** , no bloody sense , you should be paying more to your Mam for your board ' etc.. Later I'd catch him checking the thing out and he would say , ' Aye it's a good un tho, bit a quality" ........
