I was at a night time Xmas event around 1987 when they had all the staff done up in fairytale costumes, and some footballers were signing photos for charity. who minds the horses in the weans barbers part of the shop.. think it was down in the basement.. oh I miss Lewis s nothing to compare, Goldbergs was my next favourite shop.... both brilliant at Xmas.. with lovely trees and lights.. waiting for Santi, what a treat..
