Did you work at ogley's pet shop in the early 1970s

I think they may sell locking door handles at places like Harolds or Screwfix.

right thank you. I wish to God id never turned my back I'm in trouble now and the people I've asked for help just gave false hope, plenty of oh dear Linda.  I've got to sort something out its left me terrified, I'm hoping some security might help, I don't know what's out there for security I honestly don't know what I'm looking at they all look the same then I read it and its all-double Dutch, I'm sure better days will come someday, can't believe this is happening. I don't know how to find what I'm needing. Thanks for the door handle info great help,

[Meltman]

You are so welcome.

Where was Ogleys I was 13 in 1970

[linda 1]

Ogley's was at the bottom of Dixon Lane next to the old rag market. it was a big pet shop it was in what looked like a barn. animals in one side and fish in the other.  it get very busy on market days

I was about 17/18. best job ever if you like animals. they sold different animals back then. I Rember them selling baby alligators at one time. a lot was sold then that's not allowed now. Market days we sold pups and kittens. different from today's pet shops

It was round the corner from the flower market where the big brass weighing scale chair was. bet you don't Rember that.  brass with red velvet seat

Do you Rember it padders. It was huge dad used to take me as a little kid. I loved going to the market Saturdays with dad we used to go in fish market for a plate of cockles. and a walk round all pet shops then when I was old enough I got a job at Ogley's.  we went into woolworths plant department for plants for dad's garden. I enjoyed it. great memories. not much for my grandchildren to Rember like that these days

I Rember a bag of chips 6d. my grandson works in a fish shop now I asked him how much for a fish he said £7.50 now, crikey and they charge for scraps. they used to give those away. glad I was young in the 70s. I loved the music. motown and soul music mind you nothing wrong with meat loaf.
