What was the name of the corner shop you went to as a child?

Surely that could be an outing question?

Why would anyone want to know that ?Be careful about giving out such information.

Top shops. Shop didn't have an actual name it was in a small row of purpose built shops on the top of our small housing estate. Top shops differentiated those shops from a bigger row of shops about a 20 minute walk away.

Souneses

Named after the owner eg Mrs Robinson’s, or just “ the baker”.

Mrs Browns.

We lived i n the middle of nowhere so had none.

These questions are getting ridiculous

The shop. There was only one in the village

Hind newsagent and the Drapers shop. Funny what we remember.

Walter Wilsons

Never had one.

The village i lived in had an array of shops.

We had a Wavy Line shop on the corner of out street in east London.

Colgan’s

The corner shop.
It was on a corner.
DH says his was called Uptills
evidently it was up the hill and he was often asked to go up t’ill for stuff, even 😱 cigarettes!

Willie MacLean's,

Jacks.

Greta's. Not on a corner but the nearest to us. A bit further along was Elsie Chambers, where there was a large paraffin pumping thing, also sweets.

Can’t remember what it was called but I remember going there and getting cigarettes for my Dad . You could get just 5 at a time then. Senior Service,the ones he used in the Air Force. No age limits, I would have been about 7. It wasn’t very big, sold lollies in jars for a penny each and sherbet bags with licorice sticks.

Greenfinch

Too late. AI is already out of control and hoovering all our info out of us......

Maybe the answer is lie baby lie as Trump might say ?

That was one suggestion nanna8 so what would be the point of that?

A question for crazyUSA

Let's see if you answer yourself.

You have asked about 10 quite random questions in the last 2 or 3 weeks on gransnet. Why?

We didn’t have a shop close by. The CoOp mobile shop would visit our village pub once a week. I can picture the van now and can remember that the driver was called Jim.
