DAVIDW 1,683 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 W &E Turner seemed to be a national footwear chain based in Leicester . On google are references to shops as far apart as Hungerford and Lowestoft , so its more than likely they had a Nottingham branch . Whether that is the one in the photo ? If you google Jesse Stephenson Ltd any results are based round Leeds, Bradford area and one comment says they had 54 shops in that area . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,683 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I remember when I worked there in the 60s/70s , a chap dressed in white overalls carrying out some hi-fi equipment . Everybody assumed he was a repair man taking some faulty goods away . Never saw him or the equipment again ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, you shouldn't condone shoplifting. These people don't have 'nerve' either. They don't care, because know if they get caught the repercussions are minimal. Even so, if they do get caught they'll resist aggressively, spit, bite, say they're HIV, scream about human rights, accuse you of touching them up etc etc...Believe me, I've dealt with these people many many times. Shoplifting activities, which are a substantial threat to retailers, push up prices for honest hard-working folk. My brother-in-law is retired but has a small house-ware concession in a much larger outlet. The other week he received a call to say a large part of his stock had been stripped. Try telling him that the thieving scumbag had nerve to be admired. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Just been chatting to my sister on the phone. She bought an expensive phone fot her house & when unboxed she plugged it in to find it full of some one's telephone numbers. Taking it back to ASDA she was offered £5 discount ! The cheek of it, I'd want at least a tenner ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
