Well the reason I remember it Wyn is that it was actually a novelty in those days and when we went along we could understand why the owner a big fat chap was sat at a table near the serving door keeping his beady eyes on us, until my mates mum told us she asked in to watch use when she arranged the meal for us and ya it was defo is 12 birthday. Incidentally the first Chinese in the area was actually in Ossy, opposite what was then Foxhill grove Methodists church, it wasn't a Chinese as such it was an ordinary fish and chip shop, the owner was called Chan and he had an English wife, the only chinese they sold was curry sauce, which was novel in those days
