fleetwood Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Many years before the mentioned shop, there was a terrific Hi-Fi shop on Ecclesall Rd just up from the corner Co-Op building on the opposite side, I think the owners at the time lived on the premises, on a trip to Sheffield many years later found his adult son had a similar business on London Rd.

Regards, acman Yes I used to supply them as well but damned if I can remember their names, memory like a sieve these days. He always sauntered around in his vest. I used to get there at about 9 in the morning and never get out until after lunch, endless cups of tea and take it in turns with whichever other rep was in to fetch the butties!
