Welllllllll
Did you get it from Woolworths ?
No, Wilkinsons - cheaper ;)
Wilko's was not there when you was a lad Ged...Holts Corner was though :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Arrrr ey.
Hoults corner was Mart's local being a Swan-ite.
Woolies isn't a place I'd have thought to go in for PVA glue. Where's this all leading, it's a sticky subject.
Stick with it and you'll find out :PDT10

Ged you have pics of Springfield on your site......showing 'Blundells Buildings'. I see the building is still there, well just about! what a shame it couldn't have been incorporated into the new Fire Station.
Hiya Lizzie, yes, you'll mean Bushell's buildings, the old Cork Merchants and now a storage facility for E.A. Clares.
