I my late Dad drank in Berko for God knows how many years (25 years maybe?!) ?
My Father in Law was marketing manager at Shaw and Kilburn and ran your dad in a Viva in 1969/70 before DTV, my mate Chris used to wash down his racing TVR at Arkley and he was on the way to have a drink with my mate Fred at Bourne End when he had a bit of an off in a Commodore at the old Bourne End esses. My mate Bob bought Thespian's ( not Lesbians) Orchard from him and there was a full size photo on the wall at Brian Jones' 70th Birthday Bash at Brands Hatch. Despite all of this our paths never crossed - I'm glad that you're looking after Baby Bertha and Old Nail

i work at hamlins toy shop , so if you are passing pop in for a cup of tea
Oooo, I used to love that shop when I was younger! Always used to go in after school to look at all the new stuff they had in. Was amazed how much they fitted into such a small shop (your new location opposite Waitrose looks much bigger than the old premises).I live in Tring now, but am still in Berko all the time. Will be sure to pop in next time I'm about to say hello!

I had worked at hamlins toyshop in Aylesbury since i was 12, and left when i was 19, (the oldest saturday boy ever!!..lol
The owners of the aylesbury store decided to set the shop up in berko, i think when i was 15, and once they bought the shop i was moved over to there to help fit it out and get it decorated and stock filled. And i worked over there in the summer holidays. such a good expereince. I think they sold hamlins about 5 or 6 years later, and sadly they closed down the aylesbury store and that was that
so many great memories from HAMLINS..
Good luck with the store!!

I work in Berko, above Costa Coffee. One of our directors and me used to frequent Hamlins for HotWheels! But the supply seemed to dry up a bit. I'll see if I can pop in next week for a quick chat and to see if you have any '09 Hotwheels stock - I don't expect a cuppa though 
Got tea but no 09 hotwheels!Gassing Station | Herts, Beds, Bucks & Cambs | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
