mjw47   10 #7 Posted June 22, 2014 A pal of mine terry vickers worked at all the stores he was an electrician sadly passed away Last year  Was he related to Tony Christie?  Back in the late 60s or early 70s me and another alarm engineer installed a burglar alarm system in the premises.  Took us three or four weeks and we worked with their two electricians who installed the mains power supplies we needed in various places, got on with both of them very well and remember one of them was a cousin of Tony Christie.

Shefflich   10 #8 Posted June 29, 2014 I worked in the household linens 1964 to 67.  I worked down in the basement in Soft Furnishings with Eric Reaney and Brenda for about eighteen months from about 1966 to 67/68 ish having previously worked in the Co-op in Southport and before I moved on to work in the NHS. We shared the floor with Household Linens run by Mr Dawson (a very keen ballroom dancer) and Carol. The overall manager of the department was Mr Fletcher. Is that you Carol??  Philip Beecher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There was a really nice lass worked on there who was a friend of mine - I can see her face in my minds eye and I remember her surname was Townsend but her Christian name I just cannot recall. It'll come to me.  Grannypat  ---------- Post added 29-06-2014 at 21:08 ----------  I worked in the household linens 1964 to 67.  Heyup granny twili,  When I was there you worked on dress fabrics - the first department you came to when you came through the doors from despatch. Did you move then after I left?  Grannypat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It'll come to me.  Grannypat  Hi Grannypat.  It was indeed Brenda Eastwood - I'd quite forgotten her surname. Can't remember Carol's either. The toy department wasn't down there while I was there. I wouldn't have got much work done if it had been and Mr Fletcher would have been even more grumpy than he was. Mr Jowett had been the overall store manager until shortly before I arrived, and it was thanks to his friendship with my store manager back in Southport (a Mr Tweedale - they used to meet at CWS in Manchester) that I actually got the job at the S&E. When I arrived, age 18, it was a Mr Abbott in charge. He wasn't ever so pleased to have me foisted on to the staff as the arrangement had been made by George Jowett before him. I had an old Ford Popular car in those days with the registration letters GJX. Mr Jowett (lovely man) used to say it was his because it had his initials on it. He also told me that when the cricket was on at Bramall Lane he would go up into the soft furnishings workshop in the roof from where he could see the game!
