Of course Binns was originally Mackem based. That Fraser one bought 'em in the fifties. It's still Binns though but. You don't hear people saying, "If the 'Boro win Birmingham termorrer ahl show me arse in the House of Fraser winder!" No! It will always be Binns.

I know, it's all " identikit" shops now . Those big department store places and warehouses were brilliant - I remember going shopping in them was a big occasion , a whole day out!

We used to take the train from Maybole up to Glasgow twice a year for visits to Glan &Davidson and then Bremners. We went for our summer clothes in the Spring, and for our winter clothes in the beginning of Autumn. Bremners was more modern and I got my first real 60s outfit there. An orange bloomer suit. It was a short shift dress with a zip front in a crepe material, with bell end sleeves and had little matching hotpants underneath with gold lace edging. I thought I was the bees knees in it lol.
