bushbaby 3 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 merrydown you got it just right .previous to van allens i worked for robert bros on the moor.that was even worse. My wage was made up of £3 8-4d plus commission only being the junior i never got a chance of commission because the senior sales would jump in first if i ever did get a sale i could feel the knives in my back a junior sales was seen but never heard it was exactly like the series are you beimg served.After that working at the post office was a doddle even if we did have to put up with diddy david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poll Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I remember Joan Barry’s shop. I bought my wedding veil with attached Juliet Cap headdress from there in 1974. It cost £7. I used to love looking through their shop windows, particularly at the beautiful wedding dresses. If I remember correctly it had a separate square glass display unit in the centre of the doorway entrance and it was possible to walk all the way around it window shopping, even at night when the shop was closed. Am I right in thinking that it was called Anne Lennard either before or after Joan Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
