Phil It was in 1957, that I did my shopping in the first
supermarket that I had ever known, corner of George Arthur Road/Alum Rock Road, and because of the strong smell of spices, which was still a new smell to our Brummie nostrils, I assumed it was owned by Asians, Groceries were carried home in thick brown paper bags, with no handles, It wasnt too bad for me if it rained, We only lived around the corner in Cranby Street, plus I could run in those days.
