Jul 1 2008, 2:36 PM EDT could well have been, but I thought there was a shop between Flemings and the butchers. I used to walk from Dykemuir street along Burnbrae street into the post office/news agents on my way to Albert Secondary school. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday was comic days, Rover, Hotspur, Wizard, Adventure can't remember what order they came in, there was also the all time favourite The Eagle on Friday, oh happy days. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.
