What a team and what a store.
But how many of the Binns staff do you remember, from the days when you either worked or shopped there?
There's Tommy who was a familiar sight in the lifts; Elaine and her display team; and Maud the housekeeper.
We've got Alec on curtains; and Vi and Jean who did excellent work in the china department.
It's a retro retail therapy day. Enjoy.
