Does anybody else remember Leo's supermarkets, or did i imagine them, think they might have been Norfolk or Suffolk only.
Also BB Adams a sort of discount store selling everything, it was like an aladdins cave inside, oh and ipi dee the clothes shop......

I remember BB Adams at the top of the Guildhall. What was the shop where Tesco Metro is now, just down the hill? Was it still Tesco? Can remember an upstairs with a clothes and household section. The International rings a bell.

Ooh are we both talking about Thetford?

International was i think where Argos is now, but i'm probably mistaken, i thought it was a freezer shop, but my sister remembers mum buying her fags from there, so i'm not sure....

The Sweater Shop!!!

Oh my god - I had a multi-coloured jumper from there I adored.... but all the chavs in my school had stuff form there! And Texas - my mate worked there and she was always bumping into Newcastle United players in there!!! We called it 'Texas Tom's Tools' said in a stupid voice.... dont ask lol!!!

No, sorry, I meant Norwich. I can remember the International in Thetford, used to go in there with my grandparents on the way to visit aunts and uncles (I think! memory is a bit hazy!)
