Ivy icon Bob Newhart ?
A middle aged accountant like Russell Street and famous for his button down shirts... err, correction mind
The LPs were playing on occasion when I went into Brewer Street or Hill Rise(cannot remember which) I never remember music in either shop though.
Anyway 'the driving instructor' and 'discovery of tobacco' were fairly new then and they still sound good today.
One Trick Pony will be disappointed to learn that I had never heard of Elizabeth David in those days. My mum used to make all my meals, and very nice they were too. Great roast on Sunday. I had not tried much foreign food. I did have sight of the colour supplements though. They used to be quite well-regarded back in the day - not just another piece of tatty journalism.

- Good call.
Richmond Hill & I are putting together an Ivy / Squire Shop playlist...
Gibson Gardens will have input too as he spun (span?) some 'Northern' up on Hill Rise too as Ian Strachan well remembers.

Hardliners may possibly disagree with me, but I enjoyed Newhart's gently amusing situation comedy vehicle of the '80s far more than the stand-up act of his breakthrough years, which amounts to a diluted, garden-variety Mort Sahl, re-packaged for white-bread America.
