"He fly's like a bird in the sky.y.y.y" :unibrow:
Costigans on Robson Street looked like that ...
Picture #4 is interesting because of 'kake brand'. I remember the furore about shops like Kwik Save purposely using misspellings in that it would be a bad influence on kids. I didn't realise that the trend had started earlier than that. There's probably well more than kake brand and earlier too.
I thought it might be the Maypole but i remember they used to have the big square tins in front of the counter with biscuits in and of course one on the end for broken biscuits.............................Happy DaysQuote:

Probably the same as Tesco or Asda Value brands now
