<p>OAE mentioned the name 'Franklyns'. Was this the shop that was an Alladin's Cave of shortwave radios and electrical items amongst other things?. I remember working in there once in the eighties, there was even a working vintage telephone switchboard he wouldn't have upgraded. From memory, the owner was a bit of a 'Hancock' character.</p>

I love Lido too - they have almost everything you could want! From kitchenware to wood to an obscure spring to fit our broken door mechanism. I usually have to ask for what I need as can be tricky to locate things.

<p>But Lido abandoned its former name. It was yclept 'Franklyns', if memory serves, going right back to Chaucer and beyond. For plumbing, it's Lynbo every time.</p>

<p>I think it's this family who run Lido who also own the building that the Garden Ladder bar is/was in. Their son has been gaining work experience in the Salisbury with the plan to run a new bar to replace the Garden Ladder (who's lease was up some time ago).</p>
