Thanks to Norman for these photos which he sent all the way from Australia. He also sent some very interesting pages from the Lloret Scene magazine, which gives a good example of how cheap the drinks used to be!
1] Isobel and two girls who came to Lloret looking for work, unfortunately I cannot remember their names, perhaps someone can?
2] Isobels sister, her name is Mercedes and her friend I think was called Angel?
The cheapest drink I´ve seen was in a photo from 1964,in the background was a sign,Martini and Lemonade,4ptas,remember Farious Cigars at 5ptas each.
ReplyDeletein the top pic is that a young liz... ginger bobs ex
ReplyDeleteLooks like her.. she was Scottish and worked in the pub behind the Texas, was it the plough ? Wasn't Isobel the spanish lady that had Isadoras (Broadway ) The Mariners and Moef Ga Ga? She had a sister called Mercedes I'm sure.
