SMALLER SHOP & THE BLACKBYRDS

When Natalie was Born on 10/03/80, I was still working in the Original Branch of Dewhust's the Butcher's, because I can Remember walking backward's & forward's to Work, as we only Lived about 10 Minutes away!

So when I exactly moved form one Branch/Shop to another on a permanent basis I cannot really remember, I think what happened was I did some Days here & there at the New Shop!

As this was a smaller Shop, there was only 2 Full Time Staff & me working there now & again

Anyway the Shop Manager at the new place was an old Butcher by the Name of "Wally", what you might call an Old-Fashioned type of Manager, he must have been at least 65, but looked about 105!

He was alright as a Manager though, and the other worker was another Old Boy by the name of "Percy" he was from London Originally,  he as I can remember had a right Cockney Accent, he was alright as well!

Working in the new Shop was a lot slower than the other Main Branch, which I worked, the other Shop, seemed only interested in how much Meat they Sold, where as the smaller Shop seemed more worried about talking to all the Customer's and calling them by their first Names!


I think I preferred working at the Smaller Shop!

I think it was around the time Natalie was Born that me & Susan made one of our Biggest Mistakes during our Marriage, as we were both Young around 22 years of Age with 2 Little Babies, we used to let my Mother look after Nathan now & again, too give Susan a break, over the time this is where my Mother tried to take over & tell us how we should bring our Kids up, more of this later!

Around this time in 1980 one Album I brought which was Great was The Blackbyrds "Better Days" this as it turned out was their Last Studio Album they ever Realesed, obviously back then it was on Vinyl, but I now have it on CD.

It was Produced by George Duke, The Best Track on Album, in my opinion was "Love Dont Strike Twice"

Have a listen below, its the first track on the player!
