princeowales Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The branch on Queens Road was turned over good and proper by an inside job around 82/83. I remember the lads in the pub I used to go in writing orders out for stuff they wanted - 2 days later it used to appear....this went on for ages, not weeks but months. Eventually, the owners set a trap for the manager and caught him good n proper. In court, the manager pleaded under paid and over worked and got away with it - 100 quid fine if I remember right.

Qfactor Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I remember the Queens Road branch very well. Used to talk to one of the girls on the till, and when I called in one time she was bored and sitting on the counter. I kissed her and we had a good snog - all very innocent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
