A word about me Hi, I've been in this trade since 1980!! In that time I've worked for 3 companies Normand-Sweet, Automagic and Timpsons before deciding to open my own shop in Cosham in 1994. I have my old area manager to thank for that.. Since then I have become friends with many of my customers I watched them go through Marriage, Divorce, Child Birth,Love, Heartache, Illness & Bereavement. I've served people on their way to Church, Interviews, New Homes,Christenings, Parties, Holidays & Funerals. I've seen the joy and hope of new Labour The grief at the loss of Lady Di The shock of 911 The ups and downs of England playing football People moving in to the area and people moving out of the area. I have nailed, pined, stitched, glued, screwed,lost, found, bound and wound parts together... but still there is one thing I don't understand.....
