I remember the Button bros.shop in Luton,I think it was just menswear but it was expensive posh clothing and they were tailors also I think.My dad got a suit in there and we went to the counter to pay.The shop assistant wrote a receipt on carbon paper,my dad paid him the money he gave my dad one copy of the receipt and the other copy he put it in some kind of small recepticle with the money and snapped the lid shut,he then turned around and put the capsule in what looked like a dumb waiter and closed the small door,there was a loud whoosh,about a minute later there was another whoosh and the capsule had come back with his change.Apparently it was a machine called a ram.It sucks the capsule in a pipe to the cashiers office upstairs.Someone told me recently that the co op department store had them too.

Does anyone remember the Arndale market when it first opened and the first several years?if you went in the market entrance opposite where peackocks is now,turn immediate right and walk straight on,on your right there was a stall which sold hair products,the man that owned it was tall and had a deep voice,there was a stall which sold teddy boy clothes and had drape jackets hanging up,a scottish lady that had a badge stall,a shoe shop next to the fish market called Mick,he was there for many years,another shoe shop next to the car park exit which sold safety shoes and specialised in ballet shoes,a stall called two guys who sold everything from tap washers to toasters.All gone now sadly.A lot of the market seems to be small cafe's serving food for different cultures.
