Given that Classic Home Cinema moved premises earlier this year, I was thinking how long it will take before we get nostalgic about Phil's old shop in the way we do when we see the Derann old shop front.

Maybe it will take a little while in this case as Phil has moved on to bigger and better things thankfully. [Razz]

But Derann moved over the years too. 171 Stourbridge road was one

True David, but this was when Derek was the running the business from his home in Bromsgrove wasn't it?

As far as my dealings with Derann extend, I always thought their actual shop was always in Dudley on the High St?

Please correct me if I am wrong David.

Here is Phils new premises BTW for those who have not yet seen them.

I've got one of Derann's old paper bags with shop addresses on them. It shows 125 High Street, Brierley Hill, 99 High Street, Dudley and 18. 19 Lower High Street, Stourbridge. Presumably the ones other than Dudley we A/V showrooms only. I saw the Stourbridge address Saturday and there was no evidence of them being there, I'm sure they closed that one many years ago.
