The Muff in Brown Muffs was actually Maufe (EDIT either that or the family decided Muff was rude or insufficiently posh). One of the family lived over the road from my parents in Guiseley. At the time you were either Leeds or Bradford people and we were Leeds. The department stores were Schofields, Mathias Robinson and Marshall and Snelgrove. Mathias's and I think Marshalls too were absorbed into Debenhams are were Rowntrees (?) in Scarborough.
One of our packets of Xmas decorations came from either Trewins (or was the other place - Clements?) in Watford. Still in the Christmas Bag in the loft until recently.
