Talking of divi Margaret, my husband tells the story, that when he lived in Park Rd the co-op was in Tremellen St, the next street, but he had to go with his truck to the co-op which was in Union Rd Oswaldtwistle near the Palladium for the weekly order, because the divi was about sixpence more. One day he forgot the divi book and when he got home his mother made him go all the way back with the book to get it filled in. Those were the days.
