Ah, Julian! It sounds like your island should become a destination spot for a shopping vacation! The store sounds *wonderful!* ;o) --Sue, a long ways away from any Jersey, old or new

Compared with younger shop staff locally, I cannot praise our Hamon's staff highly enough. > The range of goods is huge - and the shop is stacked high with bolts of cloth [and the ceilings are very high]. If Mr. Hamon hasn't got what you require, then he'll "move heaven and earth" to obtain it for you! "Obliging" doesn't even come close! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
