Anyone else buy clobber from there back in the day?
I did often until an Ellesse polo shrunk and they wouldn't do anything about it 😥

Didn't realise smarty pants existed from as early as 1977
I recall Rits carrier bags stating established 1972 or was that Odyssey next door!!?

My parents gave me fuck all, certainly never smarty pant prices.
Myself and a few pals got wind of cheap Ellesse clobber in Andorra flogged it on and made a mint.
Happy days.

They sold icf shirts and were raided by the council

I remember playing one of the scouse teams at home in the early 80's. It kicked off big time all over Queens Market and it took plod ages to sort things out and let people in the station. I went and had a look in Rita's to kill time and a group of scousers came in and ransacked the place.

I just think it's impressive that at 14 you were confident enough to go after a women seventy years your senior.
Though I think you might have misunderstood what they meant by 'Help the Aged' ?
