Different Shops
There is 1 message in this section.

Andy Hudson from Glasgow. Posted 22 Jun 2004.
I'm only 34, but when I was a wee boy, we had seperate shops for all the food we bought, we had a creamery to buy milk, butter, yoghurt etc, a veg shop for fruit and veg, a bakers for bread and rolls, and perhaps the odd cake or two, a butchers for meat and a general grocers to get everything else.

They were all run by the co-op and all were next to each other.

When you bought a chicken from the butchers it was whole and you had to wait 30 mins for it to be prepared, plucked, head and feet removed etc, I still remember playing round the back and finding a bin full of chicken heads!
