Cheap nylon carpets and chrome bannisters/railings everywhere I reckon. Charged everyone up like a Van Der Graff generator.Why was that? I remember pushing my daughter around C&A in a buggy and we both got a massive belt
It was like some form of Japanese gameshow!

What was the other sweet shop (the one near the Tesco) called? And what was the furniture shop in Normanby named? (the one in the old cinema).

Alan Fearnley Records on Linthorpe Rd
See Alan fairly regularly as he lives just round the corner from me. He’s in his 80s but is still in good shape.

Granada TV rentals.
Rent a TV the size of a chest of drawers and then later rent the new fangled video recorder the size of a small suitcase.
Seem to remember the repair man coming a fair bit as TVs weren't as reliable as they are now.

Surgical Co. On Borough Road opposite Jack Hatfield.
Walking past as a kid looking at false legs, orthopaedic shoes that looked like they belonged to Frankenstein, and leather harnesses that I simply had no idea what they could possibly be used for, but later found out that they were usually a source of comedy for The Two Ronnies etc.
