It was. Shopper's World was like an early Argos. You ordered what you wanted from a catalogue, and everything was stored out of sight.

I used to work there panther, it was owned by Ray Lyndon, I managed the DIY store upstairs, it was called Croftspell. The people who owned the cafe were from Bolton, they used to make great bacon butties which were not right popular with Mr Lyndon

I think she changed cashy as I know the twins were, a few years after I worked for him I believe he left her and went off with a younger model. The last time I heard of him he was living in St Annes or somewhere like that
