iKitty   10 #1442 Posted November 11, 2011 Thank you so much for that – I had a look at that and some of the other pics on the site as well, and the Sally's Pantry building is definitely the one.  I've no memory of it being called that, though. Either the name had changed by the time the photo was taken in the 1980s (the last time I visited my gt-auntie there with my dad would have been the very early 70s) – or my memory is playing tricks and it was just people who knew us that called it Auntie Glad's, because we knew it was run by Gladys Greensmith! I suspect it is my memory rather than a name change, and it's got lodged in my brain under that name simply because everyone I knew called it Auntie Glad's.  Thanks again for the picture link. Funny, I can't remember the cheap ciggies shop either, and I was still polluting the atmosphere in 1980!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Kidorry   189 #1447 Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Why do we say,"I will wash up" or "I will tidy up"Is it just a local thing or is it widespread?  My mate has just come up with a possible explanation,could it have been from the servants in the big houses in years gone bye saying they were going to wash upstairs.
