I remember in Milton Keynes we used to have;

Chelsea Girl & Concept Man
Jean Genie (not sure if this was a chain or local)
Horne Brothers
Bejam
Snob (oh how I loved Snob)
Sam Goody - record shop

I remember Snob, I loved them too

Vallances - electrical store
Lewises - changed to Allders
A makeup store that I think was called Bibi
Is there still a Lillywhites?
SpudULike


Can anybody remember crackerjacks? They were a box of popcorn and nuts.

I miss the local stores., most of ours have all closed.

A couple of years ago I went back to working full time in the ins industry. I was shocked by how many companies had gone, including Eagle Star, General Accident and Guardian Royal Exchange.

Has anyone mentioned State of Independence- it turned into Internacionale and really went downhill after the move, whereas before once you waded through the tat you could sometimes find something nice.
