What........? None of you lot remember Veevers? What about Isobel Winters, Prices bake shop, Loofe's for sartorial elegance.
Veevers was a very upmarket grocers shop........they used to sell 'Gold Dish' Jaffa juice in bottles with a Royal blue and gold label.....that was the object of my affections, but alas, at two shillings and sixpence a bottle, there was no chance of me actually tasting the stuff.
They also sold little tins of 'Gold Dish' lunch tongue....didn't fancy that much......my mother always said I had enough tongue(and cheek).

I can't believe that no-one remembers the shop. It was where the first shop is at the market end of the TSB row of shops.
