I can remember seeing 'Twins' at the Odeon in 1989 on a Saturday afternoon with my girlfriend.

Still think the red and mirror/glass building looks great even now!

I know Pat and Trish (who later married and had 2 kids). I live in Northumberland now but still keep in touch with Pat and get all the gossip from him. I knew Joanne Ashton/Wood aswell. I started in the shop at Odeon, Barkers Pool in 1991 and ended up at Odeon, Arundel Gate in all departments! I left in 2001.
My niece worked at Odeon, Arundel Gate after I left..Becky Wheeler.
Anyone who knows me, get in touch at bordercabs@aol.com.
