Ah ! ABC Minors ....used to go as well ! I think it was only 3d to get in where we were, so after, it was 1d worth of 'scraps' from the chippy (sometimes a piece of battered fish found its way into the bag !) the bags came as cones of chips ..to be eaten on the way home ....and if anything was left, a stale bun from the bakers ...
Like you, I once worked for an Estate Agent (well known chain !) who bought a cinema in Billericay known as the Flea Pit, so he suggested I might like to go after work and be an usherette .....so I did ! Saw the Good the Bad and the Ugly and Half a Sixpence so many times I know them backwards ! Good fun though ....
Heated Brush recommendation,please.
