We used to call him "Little Jimmy from Pegrams" Marged | Our Co-op had a little man on a bike with a boxed frame at the front and a | whicker basket for the goods.. David Jason reminded me of him in "Open All | Hours". Our little man even had a "fair-isle" v-neck sleeveless pullover. | Do you remember them? | | Mine matched my swimming cossy cos it was the only bits of wool me mam had, | except the pullover didn't fall down when wet. | | Brian B | Lancashire, UK. | | brian_bramhall@lineone.net | http://website.lineone.net/~brian_bramhall/index.htm | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: <MagsB1942@aol.com> | To: <NORTHERN-ENGLAND-L@rootsweb.com> | Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2000 12:39 PM | Subject: Re: [NTH-ENG] Re:CO-OP | | | > Up until the 80s the local shop delivered.
