Was there still a Nellie Burke's shop across from the Princes? We used to queue for about half an hour to get a bag of pear drops before getting into the picture queue

Used to work at the Little Empire up Ossy, three times a week in the evening for extra pocket money. Had a sort of crush on a bloke with a tweed jacket and a pipe!
