It did have its attractions though, in particular the ancient bakelite telephone with fabric cord, and the pomposity of standing behind a counter, even though you had to stand on tiptoes to use the till!<BR/><BR/>WW - I am not much of a jokester, but I love to laugh. And clafoutis rules n'est pas?<BR/><BR/>Chippy, your word is my command.<BR/><BR/>M&M - I'd never thought about that - however, when I read Angela Carter's The Magic Toyshop many years ago and before HP had even been born, I thought she must have been writing about my parent's shop. I have yanked the book out of the shelves to have a re-read.
