That takes me back! There was another one in that area, known as
Gastetner Corner, but I cannot remember where, exactly.


Wasn't that just a cheap copy? ;-)


It's where school teachers used to go sniff solvents before
the next lesson, using the excuse of printing the handouts.
Even the kids could still get high from the handout sheets
ten mins later (although probably not by today's standards)...
