Olivers Shoes - Castle Market

[lesbaxby]

Worked at Olivers shoes (Timpsons) for 2 years, 94-96, the manager was a proper ****. Some good lads and lasses worked there in my time.

 

Been so close to the market I recall there were a lot of characters around, including 2 skinheads who used to get ****** on the balconies, they were always ******ed whatever time of day LOL

 

Sheffield Market had plenty of characters in it as well.

Your not wrong there, many people in there had the brains of rocking horses.

Not mentioning any names or pointing?

 

The manager of Timpsons was a top bloke. Really understood the competitive market of retailing.

 

I went in there when I worked in John Lewis, and he allowed me to have my 'staff discount' off a pair of shoes I was buying. I could have traipsed all the way up to Coles and bought the same pair, but he understood that the money was better off in his till - even with the discount

 

another time I found a pair of boots in the sale which were imperfect. He allowed me to take them around the corner to the shoe repairers for a quote before I actually purchased them

 

This was at a time when shops were closing left right and centre in Sheffield

I'm sure he did a stirling job given the staff he had
