No it's not. I recall the shop, it was in Holmside in the (then) town centre. The shop was actually called
Billy's Shughes ( am 90% certain), any other slightly old un's confirm?

100% True. Old enough to remember it unfortunately.

 

[Spenny]

Alan Foggon was a manager for a contract cleaning firm iirc, my old boss met him at a job

He was the landlord of the Wheatsheaf in Spenny for a while, nice bloke. Not sure what went wrong but he walked out one day telling those in the bar to help themselves to what was left of the stock.
