I remember the Old Mo illuminated sign on the wall above the shop window outside.

Munro's used to put this little ditty in their adverts in the 50s (might not be word perfect):
"In times of trouble stress or strain
Let Munro's put you right again
Forget your woes, strike up the band
Sup our ale, by gum it's grand!"
- not exactly Shakespeare but easily remembered
