The dirty tricks played by BA and lord king on virgin were a disgrace.

I was coming back from there when the tavern in the town pub blew, just round the corner, courtesy IRA. The first of three I was close to. It’s why my hatred of communist creep apologists like Corbyn and McDonnell runs deep.
The original virgin store was at the far end of Corporation St. and later moved to Bull Street. The first mega store was then on the corner of the two before the last incarnation was opened in High Street. I don't think there ever has been one on new St and certainly not around the corner from the tavern in the town in 1974.
Amazing how the memory plays tricks on you as you age, often distorting history to support your own views.
