Bill Phillip 'easy payment' terms

I remember Bill Phillips, he used to be in a shop selling radios TV'S etc. across from the Midland hotel where the car dealer is now, we used to buy 1/4 inch square rubber from him to use on catapults, you could also buy shotgun cartridges. When he was in the wooden building, where the car park is, he mainly sold bikes. My parents bought me a bike one Christmas about 1960, I can recall Bill parking his pale green Morris J van at our gate, I was sent into another room, but could hear the obvious sound effects of a bicycle being wheeled down the path and into the coal house, to magically reappear Christmas morning. I was at school with his son David, very sad that he died so young.
