[Margaret Pilkington]

The old lady didn't open the chippy on a satrday lunch time, though If my memory serves me right she did open in the evening....to catch the drinkers from the John Smiths pub on the corner....'The Junction'.

One not so pleasant smell was the 'botty burps' after being given the spring clean mixture of treacle and sulphur...my wicked brothers used to save their wind up for bedtime.....let off and then waft the blankets so we all got a whiff.......orrible!
