Who remembers a trendy shop called Screws ,it had like a coffee/cafeteria downstairs anc a record booth that you could listen to before you bought an album or record. Also hanging around The Square and going to the Village Inn , The Captains Table and happy just happy times

Every day we would go to the triangle and get fresh baked bread from garners and try not to eat it on the way back and avoid the cars coming down the ramp from sainsburys..it was a fun time..and we used to go to a shop up the road and get milkshakes but i cant remember the name..
