    Hull The Good Old Days ran a vote over the weekend, for the shops people miss the most. Fletchers was the resounding winner and I've no idea why Hammonds is on there as it's still there, but where was Hydes?

    1) Fletchers
    2) Skeltons
    3) C & A
    4) Woolworths
    5) Goodfellows
    6) Mackmans
    7) Sydney Scarborough
    8) Hydes Pie Shop
    9) Hammonds / Binns
    10) Jacksons / Grandways

    Hydes Pie Shop was on Hessle Road apparently.

    The shop I miss most from my younger days is Transvaal.

    Yankee Burger without a doubt. A bacon egg burger and a Frank the Yank plus frys with extra was my lunch every Saturday when I'd just started working.

    Bun in the Oven is less missed.

    Got food poisoning from there one Sunday night and was off work for a week.

    Bun in the Oven not for the excellent quisine, but more a fond memory.

    I was always astounded how they managed to affix the burger to the bottom piece of soggy white bread with such adhesion. They were inseparable. I was doing a lot of welding at the time and I never managed a bond as strong as that.

    Neither the cheese nor the onions were actual foodstuffs either. I don't know what they were but derived from carbon based lifeforms they were not.

    I used to buy my lunchtime sandwiches at Fletchers, they were the best and their potted meat was delicious.
