Page 1 of One for the Geordies (maybe the Macams)

There was an advert back in the late 80`s on Metro Radio for that Indian fella`s clothing alteration shop on Westgate Road in Newcastle.

It ended something like "come to Mr x`s on Westgate Road, next to the motorbike shops, just for you ladies and gentlemen"

If you`d heard it you would remember it, if you haven`t you`ll think I`m mad.

Anyone know the guys name and/or the real wording of the ad?

Don`t think of yourself as an ugly person. Think of yourself as a beautiful monkey!

It`s Mackem man!!

And no can`t remember it, I was away for most of the 80`s in the Navy (cue singing!!)

I thought that spelling looked wrong, but I was half asleep when I posted.

`Course if I cared about those Southern (well South of the Tyne), shandy drinkers I would have gone to more bother making sure I spelled it correctly :p

Was it something like Mr.Brahma or am I still in a dream

That sounds close, but I don`t think it`s quite right.

Bugger this is going to annoy me for the whole weekend now! >:(

I had a flash of inspiration, and had just been Googling for "Mr Rahmin westgate", so I was pretty close.

Well done Watson (in my best Sherlock Holmes impression), because of you my weekend has not been ruined! :D

Ah good old Mr Rahman! I was on Westgate Rd last night funnily enough :)
