Collins & Hayes Ponswood, photos late 70’s from Pete Prescott

all photos supplied by Pete Prescott

Merv Kennard… Hi Pete I remember the photo of you and Bob, but can’t remember what led up to it. Bob is still around but have not seen him for ages.

Pete Prescott… the photo was too make Sue laugh. It was tape for the Esther Ranstzen show.

Merv Kennard… I remember Pete larking about in the stores, the other guy in the picture is the son of Tom Mitchell who co ran that famous boutique in the High Street.

Judy Atkinson… I worked as a temp there briefly in 1977

Dennis Torrance… I worked Collins&Hayes from August 68 till April 1975 had a good football team 1972 onwards .

Pete Prescott… There was a lady called Sue in cushion stuffing who was featured in the Esther Rantzen show with her unusual laugh ( think of a donkey with breathing problem). A cassette tape was primed and I was given the job of making her laugh. It worked. She was featured on the show one Sunday night. I’m guilty of hiding in those tubes and jumping out on people. I nearly gave Jim a heart attack. Naughty boy !
