  • you should go back and re-film this now shot for shot and see the difference

  • @gimpnipples Do you know what - I would love to do just that. One day I will!

  • Is Bri-Tannic still there? Always remember that ad at the Mayfair, plus the tip-top drinks. Went to see Star Wars there in 1977 and went there regularly. I wonder has anyone got any footage of St. Joseph's High School on Sandgate Rd. I went there (I know it's in Whitefield, not Prestwich) but It no longer exists. Happy memories. Great video, cheers :)

  • I don't think Bri-Tannic is still there. However the deli/grocers next door is. The lady there still sells those astonishingly good bagels! I spent my childhood 100 yards from that row of shops!

    Nic.

  • @M77174 Alas I have to report the Polish Deli is now gone :( New Tesco express down the road may have done for it.

  • @M77174 Alas the deli is jow gone. :(
