I purchased Money by The Flying Lizards from the record shop by the SD1

 

As I remember it the record shop was on this side of the road and was run by one of my neighbours. I used to go in there often and can remember asking him if he had anything by Led Zepellin whom I had just seen at Bromley Tech. He brought out LZ1 and put it on the turntable for me but I didn't buy it because I thought they were better live. I eventually found an unplayed copy in a record shop in Barnstaple as for years I regretted not making the purchase. The toyshop was also a fond favourite.

Yes! I went in, when older. What was it called? Scared to ask then. You don't see Turf Accountants these days.

I remember this place. It's just round the corner from Norwood bus garage. We were keeping our bus there around 1989 and I remember them having a Mini with Merc W115 headlights in their little yard.

Yes, just like that. In my mind it was black but it was 35 years ago.

That's not as terrible as I imagined it to look, but I think there's too much light for the size of the car.

Would 'Double Dee motors' not be quite a good name for Audi TT specialists?! 😆
