A bit of nostalgia for the Yorkshire members!

Stumbled across the below image while flicking throught the Yorkshire Evening Post the other night.
Spent 99.9% of my pocket money, paper round money, caddying money and dinner money in this shop on a Saturday afternoon!!

This shop was paradise for a 12yr old BMX addict like myself - Aahhh, the good old days!!

My favourite shop as a kid too!

Saw the BMX I wanted, given my budget, in there. Promptly found the top of the range model for the same price over in Manchester so bugged my folks into driving over to pick it up for christmas in 85.

Loved that shop. My jaw hit the floor every time I walked in.  "wantit"
Neil, the bathroom's free. Unlike the country under the Thatcherite junta
