I remember the stale buns used to sell them at school until I got caught. Used to employ kids to carry them to school for me.
Tina Heath an old Blue Peter presenter was the daughter of the Heaths who owned the book shop. You could make free phone calls from the phonebox on the Strand if you tapped out numbers on the reciever.

A school chum of mine, Ken Flynn taught me how to tap out the number on the old cradle type phones in the phone box outside of the old Post Office many years ago.
