I am trying to recall the name of a carpet chain from the 60's,70's that is no long with us.
Sorry,there's no prizes
It's not Allied by the way

A simple question has morphed into a 41 page thread, who'd have thunk it 😊
Have we had Shoppers World,the catalogue shop rival to Argos in the 70's ?

Show that to Stanley Matthews, Tom Finney or Nat Lofthouse and they would be equally bamboozled!

Back in my yoof, they never had designer trainers or fancy boots: just "boots".

Actually Matthews did have designer lightweight boots especially made for him
