Hills of Hove.

Lift-man 1975, my first job. Like working on the Grace Brothers set.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Fortes

 

[coventrygull]

ITT Creed

Channel Laundry, Arthur Street, Hove.

Brighton & Hove Laundry, Conway Street, Hove.

Gave part time employment to many a local 16 year old (me), plus numerous psychotic Glaswegian psychos, who all scraped dishes in the kitchens.

Happy days!

Forfars... sorry wrong thread!

 

[Lush]

If these count, I was a waitress at the Lorelei cafe in the Lanes (now Casa Don Carlos) and the first and only Saturday girl selling trainers and squash rackets in the short-lived SPORTS DEPT at the North Street Boots.

My dad worked for them for a while, before i was born, so before 1978 sometime

 

[Goodfella]

My dad used to work at Shanklin Dyers and finishers in shanklin Road. At the time when the old railway bridge was over Hartington Road.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It only counts, if a large number of NSC members come out and claim to have been regular customers.

Unlikely, I think.
