Does anyone remember Chelsea Girl in the Grange Precinct, it was just a bit further up from Mothercare?
I worked there for a few years and what fun we had smile. We listened to music all day,(not now though I couldn't stand the noise lol).We got discount off all the latest fashions. We also had great uniforms and they were free.
It was hard work though but working with nice friends made it all the better.
