Hi, Frs.

Didn't one of the original Chinese Take-Aways try to set up shop somewhere below Loui's in the 1950s?

I remember a story going round at the time, not long after the Korean War, the staff of the shop were unloading crates of pineapples Etc. from their supply lorry, when they accidentally dropped a crate.
It smashed open on the road and a handgrenade casually rolled down Loscoe Road.

Was this an 'Urban Myth', or was there some truth to the story in someway?
