You could always tell which kids had been to Joe's, they turned up at school next day with a bonehead haircut and a plaster on one ear !

This was Norman Scott's at 281 Blackburn Road. I lived next door and used to help him fill the cigarette machine outside the shop putting 3d and 6d in the change slots. He never did pay me but I was only 5 or 6.

My first was a chap called Billy Wild on Nuttall street...we called him "Wild Billy" I also used Baccicullupo (Spelling?) at bottom of Warner Street, and then went to Gordon Kenyon's who later on opened Plus Two on Abbey Street...i'm trying to recall exactly where Gordon's first place was..was it on Bank Street or near there?....only a small place!!
