Me mam used to get us a bag of milk bottle sweets from the sweet shop and I always remember the abattoir like smells from the butchers.

Also remember the SAFC shop in there which was the best bit.

Why aye. JW's better than the whole of Norfolk. Other than the odd dodgy spot in Yarmouth I'm struggling to find many places in Norfolk such a shit tip. Maybe I just got lucky with all my visits.

I've just read your post out to the wife and now she wants us to have a special name for the place too.
'Skunkie Black and Whites stinky like Newcastle' is the best we've come up with, catchy and witty.

Good plan.
 
Fruit and veg bit is class. Go there and realise how much supermarkets rip you off for fresh produce. Mind half the fatties slagging the place off on here probably don't eat fruit and veg so no matter.

Aye but I bet it only sells poor people vegetables like swedes and carrots and that. I get my curly kale, asparagus, fennel and chicory from Waitrose.

I buy my lemons, beetroot and broccoli off the market. Prices are the same and quality about the same as Sainsbury's next door.

My 1st thoughts when I read the thread title.I remember it being popular for selling those SAFC wooly hats with a patch of rangers/Celtic on,(why)it was fashionable to cut the Pom Pom off the top??

Use to give me Ma two-pennyworth of Pease Pudding when Ah finished...
