[QUOTE="SublevelStudios, post: 529876, member: 5051"] What a cracking thread Rob - great result. I think this hammers home why some of us collect, the nostalgia, that connection with our childhood and the memories we have of happy times :) I generally don't collect anything that is outside the UK in terms of brands BUT there is the odd exception, like this re-seal Twin Pod with a Lewis's price label. There were apparantly more than one of these department stores in the north west but the one in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent is the one I have very vivid and happy memories of all the way through my childhood and teens. It was an amazing place, over 3 floors that sold absolutely everything and an enourmous restaurant. I remember getting my Ugnaught from there, along with much of my Lego and Transformers. When it closed and became a Debenhams in 1998, Hanley was never quite the same. [/QUOTE]
