Continuing with the theme of disappearing shops, where on earth do folks buy their shoes these days? Every High St used to have a Dolcis, Freeman Hardy & Willis, Saxone & Barratts. All gone now.
I suppose the truth is folks no longer wear proper shoes, everyone goes down to Sports Direct & buys trainers. Trainers, for goodness sake. I went past a Church Funeral on my daily perambulate yesterday & there was a Funeral going off - & three of the mourners were wearing TRAINERS. I kid you not.
My boss even wears trainers to the office. Trainers in the office, ffs.
God help us all.
Fantasic pics Tikay, the picture of the Saxone's shop is taken at the corner of North End and Crown Hill in Croydon. I remember it well, I used to get the number 68 bus to school in South Norwood just along from there some 35 years ago.
Excellent review as always tikay. How long does the jackpot bonus usually take to go in ? ( thin brag )
Goodness me, I missed that, sorry, & very well done.
The Final Table Jackpot (4th & 4th = £200 I think) is settled manually, & the Office is a bit thin on staff right now, but I've dropped them a notelet to remind them.
Good to see @TEDSON cash again, & a strong run in 8th from @StayOrGo.
Another deep run in 4th by @unbpower, and a terrific result for Donald aka @thisltedu in 3rd.
The runner-up has an interesting alias - I do love the name "Tim".
And, the winner......
...is none other than Mr Over-Bettor himself, @MattBates. Here's the man himself at an SPT, can anyone name the blurry face at the table behind him, and the Venue?
Eamonn always looks like that-at least, he does after I've drunk too much! Bonus points for the back of the heads of Craig & Sid? And why does Matt look so tall?

Thinking that was Notts, not 100% though.
Whilst I'm here, always read but rarely comment.
Think these add so much to the UKOPS series.
Long may they continue, wp that man.
