Does anyone else remember buying stuff from here? It was in Valkyrie Rd and was pulled down about 15 years ago.

used to buy fags from there when i went to oldershaw.

did hear a few rumours about her son(?) though!!

i would only buy ciggies , nothing to eat , that shop had a nasty smell to it

u mean sweet corner?

I thought her son was ok, if a bit flaky.

what rumours?

nothing i know for certain, but mate of mine knew him and he said a few things in conversation that shall we say were "a bit odd"

not going to say what as this is a public forum but if anyone wants to pm me his name i can try and see if there was any truth in them.

i dont want to know lol

IIRC he was heavily into dungeons and dragons. Nothing too strange in that.

was a wiered "smelly" shop for sure ! kind of a mix of tom cat and sweets

was handy as you could always get served ciggies and rizlas at a too young age

Off-topic, but does anyone remember the sweetshop by the Guinea Gap Baths bus-stop? When we went there with school we were allowed in afterwards to buy lollipops etc.

looseys lol

2 looseys
book of matches
4 black jacks

all for 6d

6d i got charged 10p lol

I got my loosies, from a shop in moreton and it all 'kicked off' in the globe. Me 'being me' at that time thanked the shopkeeper for still serving me my loosies. I was 14, he turned green! Haha.

It was the posh bitches at school, that pissed me off! Would buy a pack of 20 @s.p £1.36 Sell at 10p a 'stick'!! They must have bin broosting!!

1.36 for 20. When was that? 10 berkley red were 90p ish round 1986-87 ish.

Hmmm maybe 1.56 then?

my mistake, was one of the blokes who worked at r news in liscard, something to do with kiddy porn.

R News used to have racks of scud mags. Never seen anyone buy one though.

Err.. A grumble mag, Frankie Vaughan, literature for a gentleman's wrist adventure, ect.
