One post on social saying this week, I remember going to Lattie's There seems to be a bit of confusion about what that shop in Redhill was called. Was it Latte's or Latte's as in coffee?

Jim always knew my name and my best friends too.

I was doing a recording for a feature in the show in a couple of weeks' time with Murray from the Reigate Priory Athletics Club. And as we were chatting before the interview, he mentioned about Jimmy. So I asked him if he would record a few words about his memories... of Jimmy Bridger.

And in those days, going to your newsagents, going to the sweet shop, was something that you would do on a regular basis, not just because of the newspapers or the sweets, but the tobacco as well.
