My abiding memory of Edgar is him telling us,as kids.."Can't sell fireworks on a Sunday.It's illegal!!"But when you did buy them,they never worked anyway! In the window,I recall loads of old 78 R.P.M.recordings of Nazi speeches and other propoganda.He was also an avid model maker,which he displayed in the window.Anyone recall the incident when Edgar called in at the Wellington at Eastwood and asked for a glass of water,and was charged 10p for it...that made the local news!
