My mam did one for family, but I can't remember the name. I know she had the Blue Arrow window sticker when there was stuff to send back (I think?)
It wasn't one of the well-known names though.

Was class looking at all the toys when I was a kid (and the lasses in their knickers when I was a bit older!)

 

[Uncle Junior]

Used to have a load of ‘parties’. Tupperware, China, leather, handbags. No Ann Sunmers, thank God.

We def had a Kays catalogue and poss Littlewoods.
Only really used to go to the back to look at the toys.
And the tits.
Never really thought about it before but the likes of Kays, they didn't have any physical shops did they just catalogues, I've never considered the logistics of how they used to work until now, did they have huge warehouses or just get suppliers to deliver on their behalf in their bags?

Did you mean these vans?

 

[Paddy O'Dors]
