BUS STOP - A LOOK INSIDE

"The first shop we opened was as a showcase for our manufacturing business.  It was originally  an old-fashioned grocery shop,  Cullen's grocery store, and we changed it very little.  We opened next to Biba on Kensington Church Street in 1969.  We chose the name 'Bus Stop' because it was so identifiably British; and red because it was the colour of telephone kiosks, pillar boxes, and London buses."

"Yummy, yummy yummy, there's some sun on my tummy! For Honeys who have tummies that go in and not out, the bare middles are here.  Cagey ones with a rib-basket the size of a hamper----forget it!  But those with a delicate curve----you're in, or you're off, for when you get down to it (and you can't get down any further), these are the shiny, sugary teasers----the clothes with the non-existent centres."
