Hang on, the people going on about GEM and what the store is like now are surely forgetting or are unaware of the fact that the store was demolished in 1999 and the current store was built slightly adjacent to the old site..GEM might be well before my time, but I don't see how you could mistake the old Asda to the new one.
Thanks for sharing..I worked at GEM 1966/67 for Asda..Im back in Donegal Ireland for a long time I went to Nottingham 3years ago for 2days and went to see gem ..now asda...changed alot.so has the whole city..not as nice as in the 60s..
Ah the casual sexism of the 60s - "the other sex can replenish their wardrobe knowing that there's a husband within call to pay the bill". GEORGE has always been the reserve of glamourous luxury after all...erm hang on
excellent - I rember it as GEM ... until about 1972 I think .... I have cine film now on DVD of it as GEM ... I'll try and get that on here .... good to see this ,... thanks !

It was opened by Shirley Eaton (Goldfinger). I am scanning your videos carefully to see if I can see myself. I lived in Branston Gardens from 57-66.
