I started working in the Tottenham Court Road one when I was 14 in 1974, doing summer holidays and weekends.
And it was a great place to work.
It was full of art students.
It was just like an Aladdin's cave of art, really.
I remember serving Terry Wogan.
He suddenly looked up and there he was with a big handful of wrapping paper at a pound each.
Yeah, really expensive wrapping paper, but fantastic wrapping paper.
You couldn't get it anywhere else.
So that's why everyone used to turn up there.
Yeah, I'm sure he was proud to see it all and everything.
You know, he didn't mention paper chase a lot.
I think it was probably a sad chapter in his life when he actually had to sell it and just carried on with the rest of his design work.
I mean, it was just a part of his life.
He had other businesses and he just got on with it, really.
