Hi Rabbit, looks like we both posted the same information at the same time.
Great minds think alike  8)

Hi Paula,
I said rude words when I tried to post, you stopped me,
Someone has posted would you like to revise etc.  ::)

I really laughed when I saw your post.
I had to agree with great minds!! 8)
I was going to say the same thing,
but not at that time of night I thought.

I remembered later that Fry's chocolate was still going strong in the 70's,
my Mum ran the village PO, we sold it there.

Thankfully by the time I thought of that, I was in bed.

Hi Phil

I guess you would know the store is Roffi's Italian Shop, at least in our time but prior to the Roffi family arriving from Bardi this was the local Temperance store, you can see the wording along the top of photo
I think you will find the 'Frys' is an advertisment for Fry's Chocolate.
