“I was mostly at the pick and mix!”

Sean remembers model aeroplane kits at Woolies.

“One of the things I remember about Woolworths,” says Stretch, “was the stand with the wee things of dye, all different colours if you maybe wanted to dye a pair of shoes or curtains or suchlike!”
“Dye a pair of shoes?” Sean says. “You were only a wee boy! You should have been up at the model aeroplane kits with me!”
“Woolworths sold two perfumes - California Poppy and Evening in Paris,” says Iris in Ballyclare.

With music from Dean Martin, Fats Domino, John Prine, and more.
