Gerry, did Keith work in Debenhams at one time before Smiths? If so, I think he worked at Smith's with my daughter Ashley a few years ago.

Irene I am not sure that Keith worked at Debs.. when he was at Greenwoods he always wanted to work in a record shop so it was either Chamberlains.. Roy Hursts or Smiths he went to Smiths and stayed there for about 20 odd years

This takes me back, I was the manager of Greenwoods from 1972 to 1985 and likely I dressed those windows
