Tandy Corporation History

In brief apparently it was a leather goods store that bought Radioshack in the'60s. It then dropped the leather goods, which went on to trade independently under the Tandy name, whilst Tandy Electronics rebranded as Radioshack.

In the UK it traded under a subsidiary called 'InterTan' under the Tandy name, which went independent and then was sold to Carphone Warehouse. A company called T2 (presumably Tandy 2) operated some of the stores in Radioshack stylee.

There's no reason given for why they didn't trade under the Radioshack name in the UK. Unconfirmed rumours claim the name was already owned by a small local trader who was trying to extort them for the use of the name. Could be a load of old bollocks though.

Nope. Not me. A "Sherlock Holmes" pipe, or a bent apple pipe as it should be known, is a little outr? for me. I'm more of a striaght billiard pipe sort of man. With a nice Danish Black Vanilla.

"Kippers swimming in the tank in Fishmongers window"

I think they only call them kippers once they've been smoked - not sure you would ever have seen them swimming!

Just outside the magnificent Botanic Gardens on Great Western Road, there is a lovely guy who sells coffee from one of those police phone boxes.

It's called Cop-a-cino :))
