If it wasn't a brown jumper knitted by a relative or home made tartan (yep) trousers, then I was clothed here.Cannot recall just where it was but Vicar Lane rings a bell and I remember the intriguing air-sucky tubes that took the cash off somewhere else.[Ed - in Leeds]

There are (at least) four photographs on Leodis. One is here..

My brother worked there briefly (mind you, he worked everywhere briefly!) so it must still have been there in the early eighties. I believe it was supposed to have a ghost.

The talk of Cashdisia reminded me of the Greenwoods mens clothing shops. There used to be a couple, or possibly more, in the centre of Leeds but as far as I know there isn't one now. The second link in Chrism's thread today at 14:38:16 brings up a photo in the Leodis website that in addition to Cashdisia also shows a Greenwoods store very close by.The following link will bring up a thread on Greenwoods in the SL site.
