I have a vague memory that there's been a post on here in the fairly recent past from the Isle of Lewis. If I've remembered correctly and such a person should happen to see this I'd like to know if Sinclairs Emporium still exists. My pal is planning to grind corn with a Bentall Mill but the grinding face on his mill is worn out. He remembers going to Stornoway for some vintage Albion bits years ago and thinks Sinclairs would be the right sort of place to stock Bentall bits having drawn a blank with all the usual suspects.

We mourn the passing of 'proper' ironmongers where a man in a brown stores coat would take your order before disappearing for 10 minutes. On his return he'd wrap your goods in brown paper or even newspaper and ring the sale up on a chromed brass National cash register. There'd invariably be a rack of guns for sale in the window.

Those were the days,
ATVB, Mick
