Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

Pem record shop was always good, but I cannot remember any booths in there; the lady that served would just play your record there and then, if you requested it.

My favourite place was downstairs in Bullough's. Everybody who was everybody shopped there. The girl who managed it had black curly hair and big eyes and was the most helpful person on earth. If something had been released you'd get it the same day at Bullough's.

Pendlebury's was always good and they did have booths in there.

Those were the days: no internet or mobile big brother, just great music, privacy, and a spirit that has now sadly left this planet. Although on a personal level, the pretty spirit that haunted me as a youth, is now happily by my side.

Everything comes to he who waits.
