Many things to recommend Baker Street, but that boozer really isn't one of them.

I bought a goldfish from there. The assistant asked if I wanted an aquarium.
I said, "so long as it's a goldfish I don't care what star sign it is."

Time wasters.

Two fish in a tank. One says to the other "do you know how to drive these things?"

Wow have not been to Baker Street since about 1992. Great to hear the pet shop is still there. I use to go and buy our family Old English Sheepdogs many a treat, new collars, and leads etc from there.

The Mitre is a decent pub and beer is cheap. What really shocked me was his dog was sat in the car with him watching the whole episode! Animal cruelty.

I think I was lucky enough to have a couple of barbers shops nearer to my house, so I never got taken to Coopers.

I went into the pet shop & asked them if they'd got any budgies going cheap.

They thought i was dead comical. Definitely

Got to agree with you about the taste of the pies, lamb and mint is my favourite.

I used to enjoy visiting the Co op because it had a decent toy department, they sold a decent range of Subbeteo teams.
