bloody hell how old are you

Geoffs mobile shop!!! Now there is a memory that I would not have thought possible to dredge up from the annuls of my cranium - int tinternet brilliant! What was the name of the mobile fishman that did the lupset rounds at the same time. This will test the cut of Clan's Jib.

Guiness Sausages from Peter the Butcher were a rare treat in our house - I've never tasted anything like them since. He was a nice fella - died a few years ago I think.

Snowie - I'm 41, why? Does a chippy van sound like something out of the dark ages? It wasn't pulled by a horse tha knows!

I wouldn't of expected you to have memories of such bye gone years

you will be telling me you remember the old tin bath hung outside

and before anyone say owt I can't

We just used to call it 'the chippy van' - I don't remember if it had an actual name, but I do recall that it was a kind of maroon colour and served the best chips going.

I remember the fish n chip van but I think he's referring to the van that sold fresh fillets of fish and I'm almost there with the name I think.

Give me a minute or two.

I fancy fish and chips for tea after reading all of this

Hillards a blast from the past, we used to shop at Leo's supermarket on Dewsbury road it was closer....lol Happy days

didn't leo's used to be the co op ?

So do i mate, think a trip down Agbrigg road is in order for a £1.99 fish and chip special b4 SL on Sky !!!

I think it changed to the Co-op later, it was behind Peanut's Video shop on Dewsbury road, where Asda local is now

yep that's the one

Yep, just near sid's chippy, clothiers and Osterliens butchers and slaugterhouse.... Happy days

Keep coming up with Naylors Fish merchant but I think that was a tea van that competed with Ringtons.

Grimsby fish

agreed

I heard Matalan moving into old sainsbury site and Tesco into matalan site

yeah Leos was our shop too

dont know where you get your info, but its garbage!

Was it "friar trucks"? He had a route through peacock and his fish and chips were cracking.

ahh leo's another blast from the past - remember fund raising for the cub scouts there, cleaning shoes and packing bags.

i also remember (like many on here) my mum carrying a full weekly shop from hillards.

but we did get our bread on a friday afternoon from the shop (can't remember if it was a butchers or bakers) on the parade of shops on waterton road (morrisons end)

a proper loaf - not sliced!!!

I nearly got a job there too.

Was desperate to earn some cash as a teenager and lied about my age. Bottled it when they asked me to bring proof of age, NI number etc. Then got a Saturday job at the local greengrocer on Busy Corner. Best job I ever had, and best boss to boot.

I honestly can't remember if it had a name.

I certainly remember Leo's though - we used to go in there at dinner time from Thornes House, specifically for the purpose of shoplifting something to eat, so we could buy fags with our dinner money.

Jesus, that brings back some memories, nice bloke.....John.....(????) really pleasent

My dad used to be manager at Leo's many many moons ago, when microwave ovens 1st came out Leo's held a draw for one, you have no idea how many forms we had to fill in to win that bloody thing. We was classed as posh for a while after that.
