    Saturdays as a kid in the Sixties, we (my siblings and I) would get dragged round the city centre by our parents: set lunch for 1/6 at a Chinese restaurant on Renshaw Street, then T J Hughes, Blackler's, Owen Owen, George Henry Lee ("Part of the John Lewis Partnership"), Lewis's, Philips Son and Nephew (a stationers that we seemed to visit every week to get typing paper for my father), and maybe a flying visit to Brian Epstein's record shop, NEMS. Then down to the Pier Head doughnut stall

    All gone or going now
