i remember in the 50s me and a couple of my mates buying some st bruno pipe tobacco from the co-op on broxtowe after seeing cowboys at the Forum chewing tobacco we all turned green after a few chews.loved going in the shop Whitings on Broxtowe Lane
I remember my Mam giving me money to have my hair cut at Charlies, i used to hate going there. On one occasion my mates dad cut it for me and made a worse job than Charlie, me and my mate Colin Bishton had spent the money.Mam finished up marching me down to Charlies and waiting until i had been scalped
