Thanks Bri, always got in to trouble for going from fast forward to reverse to quick and the tape would unwind and mangle.


God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.

In the place that became the sports barn on the Woodchurch. They used to sell all the old juke box singles.

But back to the OP's original question, I would take the ferry or train and go to Virgin on Bold Street.
