I think the residents video was a bit later, circa 1980??? As I remember didn't we make trips into town especially to see it?

Re parrots, apart from the frightful man that hid in the fishmongers, there was also this very attractive woman with black lipstick who worked in there, who had worked in guy Norris beforehand as well. I also used to see her at reggae discos and stuff.
Once when Beethoven the Goat had been rude to me she obviously felt sorry for me and gave me all the Crass patches they'd accumulated under the counter that should actually have been given away free with their records (he'd proabably planned to sell them seperately at an inflated price)

Was she the one with the scraped back long hair, and the scar on her cheek- (not as bad as she sounds) who always seemed a bit serious I think she started of in Kellys, went to parrot and ended up in Our Price (now KFC)

Was her name Penny? I think she still at Virgin sometimes.

Yes her name is Penny, used to go to a lot of reggae dances and she's married/partner of one of Yardee HI Power Sound System who used to play locally a lot in the early '80's. But that's another topic.

all my hard earned pennies went into funding the first 'fives' record shop in Leigh. ran by Pete, just tell him what you wanted..it was there the next day. the only problem was it was SSOOO tiny. Later, my weekly wedge went into Parrots in Southend. I always found the geezer there to be helpful, but I wouldnt let him near my daughter if I saw him now....and yes, GOATS!! THATS IT!
