We had, 'Palma non sine pulvere.'
Meaning? The palm of victory isn't won without the dust of battle.
If you say so.
I preferred, 'Omnes in faecibus sumus, sole profundis variat.'

I'm no Latin linguist, but I always liked the motto:
Nil carborundum illegitemi
As well as the old Norman one:
Pas d'elle yeux Rhône que nous

Here's my Mum at the counter of our shop in Euston c. early 60s. We saw the Post Offcie Tower go up when we were there - amazing.
It was a tough life growing up around all those sweets and jars, jubblies and Wall's Ice cream in wafers
All those lovely jars of sweets on the Top shelves.Here's my Mum at the counter of our shop in Euston c. early 60s. We saw the Post Offcie Tower go up when we were there - amazing.

They were glass then, at a later shop they evetually became plastic. I can still still recall the smell of the custard & creams, barley sugars and cola cubes 
Anyone remember Laskys ?
A proper Hi Fifelity shop.
We bought our first family Hi Fi there in the mid 70’s.
I remember we bought some Super hi fi LP’s that you played at 45. I think Dark Side of the moon was one of them.
We had some rather large Marantz speakers that the foam resembled a chocolate bar.
