And one thing that never failed to amaze me: in those days the working day went until 6:00 ??? an eight hour day meant eight hours, not including lunch, and both of those stores, Foyles and Hatchard???s, would be packed to the point you couldn???t move in the aisles from 6:15 until 7:00 PM, as people coming out of work bought a book for the ride home on the tube or the train.
