I went for a job at ASDA on blackburn rd ..Glynn Webb is there now... I was offered the job but it was what was then reffered to as "A closed shop"  Is that the expression?  nothing to do with being a shop... But it had a union and you had to join it... you couldn't work there unless you joined the union... I think the term was closed shop and that is now of course illegal...

Anyway even at that early age I had a distinct dislike for unions so I turned the job down...

I was living in Blackburn (for a short period) at the time so must be well over 20 years ago..
