Did it have listening booths? My sister was a big soul fan and she used to drag me down there.

Yes BB it did mate and all you did was put the headphones on and the music would bellow out.Wonderful days from decades ago.

What happened to a pub called The Grapes, which used to be on Deansgate, I think? Interesting pub because there was in effect a footpath running right through it.

Bozo underneath the Royal Exchange. Some great designer clothes in there and it wasn’t too expensive. The shops underneath the Royal Exchange never got going again after the IRA bomb and we’ve never really had anything like it since.

Agreed Bozo was cool
