Do they still have Alders dept. store?
The same works with Sir C and St Mary's Cray. He gets so annoyed if you say he lives there because we all know it is really St Paul's Cray...

Allders has died a death now. the group went bust a good few years back after Terry Green (no relation to Philip) took them over as they went private and drove the business into the ground. The whole deal was dodgy as Minerva were only interested in the Croydon land as it was all going to be redeveloped and make them squillions but it all went tits up instead. Allders in Croydon stayed on a bit longer than the rest of the group as somebody else bought it and ran it as an independent stand alone store. It was never quite the same as the old place though and that also went bust a couple of years ago.
