Once again, I realise how lucky I am. My daughter doesn't want children.....her husband is much older than her and has a daughter from his previous marriage who is nearly as old as Ashley, (my daughter). They live on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides so we don't see them often but Ashley rings most weekends and as long as they are happy that's all I'm bothered about. Jamie was 30 and his wife was 33 when Edie was born so we didn't think we were going to have grandchildren, then had two in two years. They have just been to Blackpool Illuminations and Oliver informed me that he is going to take me when he's 17, IF I'M STILL ALIVE!! Out of the mouths of babes, eh?!
I had thought you meant you had the capsule system instead of tills, which had surprised me as I often went in Debenhams before I worked there and didn't recall them, but they had gone when I started; we used to carry two bags up to the cash office at night, one with the takings and one with a float for the next day. Were you there when we used to get our wages in a little brown envelope every week, brought round by what was seemingly a nice young man.....a long-term member of staff......and one day he disappeared with all the takings?! We went onto monthly pay soon after that, paid into the bank.
I think I only recall Keith's name because he worked with Ashley in Smith's, although I remembered him as a person because he was so nice and easy to get on with. There is a photo on the Album of when Debenhams staff went to Manchester on bikes, roller skate etc . for charity. Have you seen it?
