Thanks for that picture Ged - great.
Burkhilly, I was born and brought up in Fitzgerald Rd, that shop, believe or not was my local !
When I was a youngster, many moons ago, my mum ( god rest her soul ) used to send me down with a list and I never remebered paying
That's because my Dad used to get paid on a Thursday and my mum would pay the "slate" off then.
Another tale:
The people who used to afford us that luxury " Marje and George Strain" looked after the locals and let them have credit, as it was in the "olden days" ( 1970's). A Couple of years ago, who should move in next door to me but Marje and George Strain. Lovely people who "looked" after the local communty. So, with your permission, I'll print the pic and pass it on to them, Thaks Ged, Still looking after us, Mart.
P.S.
Burkilly, your son, hopefully will be getting a call to arrange an interview in the next day or two ( mon or tues ).
Martin
