The shop was called FOSTERS and, yes, I felt very uncomfortable there too but the Levis were so darn cheap. The Levis were 'seconds' though with the red tabs cut off. You could always stitch a complete red tab from your worn out 'first Levis onto the seconds and voila: a normal looking pair for less than half the price ! Luckily, I fit standard Levis so the guy never had to do any alterations (phew !) but I always thoroughly had the jeans washed returning home ! I daren't touch anything in that back room, mind ...

I've heard tell of an Islamic butchers called 'Halal-is it meat your looking for'. Cant find the bugger anywhere though so I suspect it might be a punnish name in search of a shop sign.

previously a shop on corner of Landcroft and Thompsons Road (?) Lettuce B Avenue - yes it was a greengrocers.

These are all genuine names of different undertakers: Human and Pitt (Cape Town), A. Will (Grahamstown, SA), Wake and Paine, Ashton, W. Uden -- all in London.

Remember it well - suits you sir - he was as camp as a row of tents and yes he did try to feel you when when measuring your inside leg.

New shop opened is called "Lords Chip Shop"

Batter your own fish or chip your own potatos then peel off your pound notes, best self service since the staff got sacked.

I went along once, just for the halibut.

Not in ED but there use to be an Antique shop called Robin Bastard and that was the guy's real name.
