I remember going to a wee grocers in Causeyside St with my nanna in the early sixties and her buying a 'pat' of butter. I can still see the grocer cutting a bit off the big soft block of butter and patting it with two wooden paddles into a square(ish) shape then wrapping it up in greaseproof paper. Also does anyone remember Browns sweetshop in Broomlands, near Castle St. It was another favourite place of my nanna's. The smell in the shop of sweets and chocolates being made on the premises.....mmmmm. My own favourite haunts were the toyshop on the High St.aat the corner of the pen (can't quite remember the name) and Yankee Mags off Broomlands (now a post office). All the Marvel comics, Commando books etc. and Bazooka Joe's chewing gum. | | |
