A lady I was talking to - whilst queuing up - told me that she was used to sitting in the 'Showcase' and there being only three others in the Cinema! I used to go (On my own, nobby no mates, ) to the showcase on a weekday afternoon in the late 80s early 90s regularly and it was invariably just me in there ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
