There was a shop called Computer Adventure World which is opposite McDonalds in Birkenhead. They had the banner up in Central Station in Liverpool for years after it closed (around 1994). I remember the banner, isn't it still up?? Hi Joe, The banner at central station at the top of the wirral line escalors only came down about 8 months ago - I remember that shop well.

Does anyone remember Chelsea Girl in the Grange Precinct, it was just a bit further up from Mothercare? I worked there for a few years and what fun we had  . We listened to music all day,(not now though I couldn't stand the noise lol).We got discount off all the latest fashions. We also had great uniforms and they were free. It was hard work though but working with nice friends made it all the better.
