Pizzaland, used to like their pizzas

There used to be an ice-cream shop with proper Italian ice-cream in loads of flavours around about where Body Shop is now. Don't think it was there for more than a few years. Not a clue what it was called. Maybe they couldn't compete with Rossi's!

When I worked at Midland Bank, we had huge numbers of shops paying into us and it's struck me how many of those mentioned on this thread were customers and are no longer here - most of the shoe shops, certainly Freeman Hardy Willis and Dolcis; the Arcadia groups shops - Dorothy Perkins, Etam, BHS, Principles; Software Plus; Pizzaland...probably loads more I've forgotten. On a Monday (or after a BH), we'd have one person shut away most of the day counting their paying in, which was done via Securicor or the night safe!

The shops were open on a need to know basis. Ich Bin Ein Jangoist. - was the motto back in the day. Wrote it on my pencil case with a big red biro. Everyone wanted to be my friend......

Locker.


That's a film not a shop, though to be fair, it sounds like an outlet where you'd by certain bedroom equipment for a certain type of person.

Great effort all. Wings and Wheels how could I forget?

Someone posted Circle K. Still very much alive in HK. We are plagued with them and 7-11. On the plus side the beers are cheap
