Firemansam Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Sweet Shop ?? He sold everything..... whatever you went in for, he would find from somewhere "in the back" I remember we used to take old pop bottles back there for the deposit on them. Can't remember how much we got back on each of them though, think it was about a bob, but that seems a lot now. Any help anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
