Joto Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I think they had a thread on once about him I remember him in the late 50s and early 60s coming on my in-laws street, Colley Ave to be precise, but I don't remember him coming on my parent's street, Milnrow Rd you could get things on the tick and pay him at the end of the week, couldn't you? Are you a relation? what's your story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhill Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I remember Alf very well. I used to live on Deerlands. We were regular customers of his. It was better than having to walk up to Lindsey shops. Those were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
