Flag erasers are for elite kids with too much money. Try green tipped rubber with ABC and some weird pic of animals or smthg for 10c.

That is exactly why we need to have a invisible folder to save those scenic pictures of hgh quality for future references. Background saving was a god-send for lovers of nature.

yes i am sure you also know that an open window for MCF to post would mean slower downloading of the nice scenery in the other 200+ open windows

U guys really some old timers here lol.

Never heard of Fitzpatrick before lol.

Fitzpatrick supermarket was located either at the current Paragon or maybe the next building where Abercrombie & Fitch store is if I remember correctly. Orchard Road has changed tremendously since the old days.

 

Cold Storage is where the current Centrepoint is.

Quite a few Fitzpatricks, most are around town area. Most of them got taken over by Cold Storage. Let me try try to re-call the locations:

Chancery Road (CS now)

Goldhill Square (CS, now not sure)

Supreme House now known as Park Mall

 

That's all I can re-call. Anyone remember Yokoso? First 24hrs supermarket. Too much ahead of it's time. Failed.

Yes. At katong. Coincidentally just a few months ago I went to the building with a colleague but of course it's long gone...

 

It was part of Emporium right?
