Remember Jackson's well, mother used to work there on wool counter. Wonder how it survived all these years?

I think it's still a family business, and they must own the premises so no rent to pay. Most of the staff seem to be of retirement age at least, not sure how much longer it can go on.

If this is Kismet, I think I can help you with the Bernie Kaai Lewis.  Bernie was my biological Father, my name is Leona, I have a brother named David, and my grandparents were named Finkelman.  I was a Finkelman myself, until my step dad adopted me.

My real Father, Bernie, died in 1984 of a massive heart attack.  If this helps, email me at lee.golithon@clorox.com.  Was your late mothe's name Shirley, by any chance, and is your name Sandy?

Let me know as I've been trying to determine how to find my step sister for ages, and you may be her.

Hi, saw your post re naturalisation.  Would you kindly tell me how one gets naturalisation papers please? Many thanks.

I worked at the Milwards Broad Street Reading store from '68 to '70 and then at the Maidenhead one till late '72. Also did a lot of relief management at various branches. I've got lots of staff photographs which i'd love to share with the people in them.

I have happy memories of working in Milwards, Broad Street Reading, in the 1980s.  The Lamson tube system for sending cash and duplicate dockets to the cash office was still in use.  The manager was David Sleet and the manager of the men's department Ted Emmett.  Happy times.
