just seen this thread. In 1966/7 it was run by the famous Charlie Payne of Payne's corner house amongst many other business. The manager was a thick set 40 year old of foreign extraction, possible Polish or Hungarian. I dont suppose for a moment he will read this, so , he had female tendencies. I hated dealing with him, Im not afraid to state that I border on the homo phoebic, and 45 years ago I was more than bordering on it, I just couldnt understand the mincing around.
In case anone asks what I was doing there, one of my many money making ventures was running a cigarette vending machine business. Absolutely HUGH turnover, nothing to take £500 in a day off the various sites. Unfortunately the net profit was conversly TINY, touch and go whether I broke even.
