Pat Scothern / Rita / Lynn / Susan and Mrs Mills, Pats daughter will be in her lates 40's callled Anita

I used to sell them Brooke Bond Tea. The manager I remember was Rod Taylor, with Mrs Mills in the office. She later became manageress

I worked at Fine Fare in Firth Park in the late 60's. Rod Taylor took over as manager there when the very camp Roger Coker emigrated to Oz. Rod must have married around '68 as I remember going to his stag do at the Bowling Alley above the store. (we knew how to party !!)

 

I recall working some daft hours at the attercliffe store during a reorganization after Fine Fare bought Carlines out.

 

Any old staff on here from Firth Park?

[bryan@askham]

Yup, I remember Carlines, opposite Attercliffe FineFare and also Rod being manager at Firth Park. The last time I saw him, he was managing FineFare in Retford, probably about thirty years ago.

From 1966 to 1970 I worked at various Fine Fare Stores in the Sheffield area (mainly Firth Park, Woodseats, Parson's Cross, Rotherham and Attercliffe.) and I worked with both Roger Coked and Rod Taylor.

 

I also briefly met Roger Coker in Sydney in 1971.

My mum was the first in the one on Heeley Bottom. She was given scissors to cut the ribbon, and Sammy Brook Bond the chimp was there, my mum let an almighty scream out and ran scaring the poor beast half to death, Imagine trying to bring a chimp amongst the public now
