Cockett & Sons? Great bakery too.

Tripe and cow heels was a favourite of my Grandpa in the 70’s. I remember going to the local butchers to buy it with him. Rabbit is one of my favourite meats but it’s nigh on impossible to buy from the butchers around here even though I live in a rural county and there’s hundreds of the little...

I love liver and onions.. prefer white to black pudding.

That was the first one that came to mind when I read the question.

Love them.

We were at the same gig if you were at the Who Wants The World Tour at the Apollo in 1980. Great gig and at that time they had all those previous albums to pull songs from for the set. My mum knitted me a JJB black sweater with one white arm when Black and White was released :)

… they did do one brilliant cover though.

I have a bit of a dilemma about the Stranglers. I loved the first 5 albums and they were the second band I ever saw live but then I gave up on them after some horrendous live shows ( especially with the crap brass section) and what I thought were really poor albums. I didn’t like the cover...

I have loved Badfinger for many years. Probably ingrained in my brain from the early 70’s before punk came along and took me away, along with T Rex, Sweet, Glitter Band and Mott The Hoople etc. There’s a great documentary about them but if any band deserves a biopic to tell the truth it’s them.

Army and Navy or Surplus shops… kept me dressed when I was younger :)

A money shop…. all the banks have disappeared!!!!

We still have a butchers, the fishmonger has gone but there’s a great one up the road in Macclesfield. The local diy shop closed last year and it was a good one not like the current trend for some ( not all) of the substandard crap for sale at the ‘around a pound’ type that seem to have taken...

There used to be one of those in Leek called The Home & Colonial Stores, it was a great old shop set on 3 levels and you just went down and down. Sadly it closed a few years ago. Definitely like something out of FOTSW!

… well I did say it was vague. The blue ribbon song in the advert was sung by Mike Berry who replaced LOTSW’s Trevor Bannister in Are You Being Served?

Starter for 10. Extremely vague connection with the show and a Blue Ribbon Biscuit?????

Get a blue plaque on it pronto!

Tree houses, catapults, air guns, knife/ axe throwing, campfires, digging “foxholes” into the sandbanks, jumping the river, walking in the river as far as we could physically go, rope swings over said river- usually ending up in it, camping, racing go karts down the slopes on the sand hills...

I’ll go with Mars Bar by the Undertones -I still have this on green vinyl :)

A nice bit of the Peak District in this video.

We got a new addition to the pack just before Christmas so I think Nipper is happy to get out of the house. Little spud left at home.
