Edlins?

Going back to the days when Dave the Gaffer was my superior there used to be a huge deli in Duke Street, which I think was called Edlins. Possibly where there was/is a cookie shop when I last visited town.

A proper deli with meat on the bone where you could spend your luncheon vouchers.

I was often sent round with Pat the filing clerk for the elevensies.

Anyone also remember the sandwich shop next to boots called billy bunters. Huge beasts of sandwiches with a pile of crisps.

And a final mention to the old fish shop called alan johns?, in church street that did the finest prawn sandwiches, again somewhere DTG would send me.

do you remember when Mr K's put the lights in the dance floor

As I recall they were installed when they refurbed what was 'the Gloucester' into Mr K's.

I think they pioneered the pay all inclusive entrance fee. About £7.oo and you get drink yourself silly all night.

No Edlins, if that's what is was called was behind the Wilson Bristow offices in North Street.

Debs Deli, egg and spring onion baps, is in that street that I can't remember that continues from Bond Street towards Kensington Gardens.

And afternoon to you sir, how was your holiday?

Saw my dads band support Toyah Wilcox at Jenkinsons in the early 80's

Whoever posted on the first page that is was a shithole couldn't have got much closer to the truth...
Are they actually revamping it down there in line with the whole Kingswest/Odeon thing?

That's the one.

Those bagels were a bit mingy but cheap. I have to say the standards did drop over the 13 years I frequented the place but then a lot more competition came into the area too.

The worst place was the one in Bond street that the two old ladies ran. Filthiest place I ever witnessed. They never washed their hands between handling money and then the food, never used gloves and I'm sure the surface and the knives only got cleaned once a day.
