Comment: How nostalgic to hear Brigid's story. Joe was my uncle and I was in that shop manys a time It was just great to see the image of Joe at the griddle with the flour-encrusted radio in the background. I don't think the radio was ever switched off!
The memories came flooding back.

Great little story.
