Fourboys newsagents, does anyone else remember them in the '70s...?

I still have a load of mahogany from Dewhurst’s in Camberley in the workshop. Used some of their fluorescent lights in our old house garage.

70s! I remember then in the 2000s I'm sure. But with the above revelation, I'm terrified to look it up....

We had one in our local town, I think it was spelt Forbuoys here?

I worked at Dixons 'airside' for about 10 years... initially it was Dixons Tax Free before a rebrand to Dixons Travel. Used to be the jewel in the DSGi crown in its heyday... holidaymakers just loved to spend at the airport!
