But I do remember Redmayne & Todd, & it's good to see the building, or part of it, put to good use after being somewhat neglected for a while. It did sell sports stuff, but I remember it best for the place I bought chemicals for my chemistry set from. Way back in 1970/71, you could buy a decent chemistry set, without all the Health & Safety rules you get today. Being mad on science, my Mum finally gave in to my pleading, & I had one for Christmas in 1970. Redmayne's was where I bought extra stocks.....and believe it or not I was able to buy magnesium ribbon, & a host of other delightful goodies. And I was only 14! I did have fun with it all. So no matter what shop is in that building, it always brings to mind chemistry experiments in my Mum's kitchen. In case you wonder, I didn't have any accidents, or cause any damage, apart from making a rather strong stink bomb, which took a while to disperse.Karenjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759086564626599394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576959142506128840.post-12385536336892239432013-10-26T20:12:06.141+01:002013-10-26T20:12:06.141+01:00Janette Jones: I think once you have tasted the qu...Janette Jones: I think once you have tasted the quality of Caffe Nero coffee Starbucks will become a mere memory - best forgotten. :)Phil Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481531408247859880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576959142506128840.post-72987172521520261402013-10-26T20:06:36.815+01:002013-10-26T20:06:36.815+01:00I'm ashamed to say that I've never venture...I'm ashamed to say that I've never ventured into a Nero and frustratingly have only just come back from Notts but it's on my list to try - I'm more a Starbucks kinda gal!Janette Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697360238652839300noreply@blogger.com
