I think JIM only delivered his pies to escape from AGNES and have a pint or two

Good grief SA I was only trying to remember about the wet fish shop the other day and I couldn't remmber who had it, after Bob retired I'm near sure a chap called Birch took it over can't remember his first name but his brother was a mate of mine, Kevin. and besides the three barbers you named there was also Jim Kershaw who had the shop opposite the Town Hall on the corner of Monarch Street where I was born, his brther Benny had the gents shoe shop next to Moxhams toffee shop, Edwin used to make a mean icecream as well, infact I think the present onwers still make the icecream from his recipe.
