It was now Christmas Time 1987, I had been in the Takeaway for about a Month, and things were Really Picking up now, I was getting really Busy around the Weekend and the other Nights were Fine to!
I Remember some Weekends actually Running out of Cod, and I never Actually got the time to do as much Home Baking as I wanted to do, Lasagne's, Curry's, Pie's etc etc.
One Particular thing I had Noticed, was when I was thinking of taking the Lease on, I would go to the Shop to see the Couple who ran it, and they always had a Bloke in the Small Restaurant, having his Evening Meal, I was introduced to him by the Couple Running it, and he said "I come here every night for my Tea and will Continue when you take over"
This at the time, I thought would be Very Handy, just to get me going on the Trade Front, But Guess what, I Never saw Him Again, after I took over, this was when I had my First Bad Feeling's about the Takeaway!
This Bloke was obviously a Mate of theirs, and they were giving Him Free Meal every night , Just to Fool Me into Thinking they had a Good Restaurant Trade.
Anyway as I said things were going OK and Ticking along Nicely, so I just thought Myself, I can do this (Run this Business), as things at that Time were going Great!
By this time, I had stop Selling Things from the Mobile Shop, and putting Everything into the Takeaway, we Never made that Much Money, just enough to keep the Shop Ticking Over, and for me , that was Fine for Now, but later would be Different!
I was Glad when the Christmas Holidays came, I was Happy to have a Break, I finished for about a Week, I can Remember, so I was looking forward to Returning in the New Year, and Building up the Trade for Myself, Susan and the Kids, for Us to have a Better Life!
Just thought I would give a Special Mention to the Couple who I Took over the Lease from, they were Named Braddock, His Name was "Billy" and I Cannot Remember Her's, but they Turned Out to be the Biggest Pair of Lying Bullshitting Tw@ts, I have ever had the Mis-Fortune to Meet, more of this Later!
========================================================
Now for some Music, Back in 1981, The Great Jazz Trumpeter of the Middle 50's, Donald Byrd Released his Second Album for Elektra Records, it was Entitled "Love Byrd" the Album also Featured his Band "125th Street NYC"

And Taken from that Album was the Single, Written by William Duckett, "Love Has Come Around" it was Produced by the Great Isaac Hayes.
What a Great Track this was, the 12 in being Nearly 8 minutes in Length, I Remember having the 7 and the 12 in Vinyl.
The Track Reached Number 15 on the US R&B Chart, Number 4 on the US Dance Chart, but it Never made the Hot 100.
Here's a Great Mix by Combolito
