Finding a Tandy ghost sign thanks to The Power of Parker!
A recent post in the excellent Tandy UK (InterTAN Ltd) Facebook Group alerted me to the fact that there's a ghost sign from an old Tandy shop in Stockport. A fellow group member had spotted in the background of a scene in the new BBC comedy The Power of Parker. The show is set in Stockport in November 1990.

The store used to be at 111 Prince's Street. It's now home to a Betfred.

My first job was at a Tandy franchise shop in Abingdon, Oxfordshire back in 1996 where I remember selling a number of electronic products bearing the 'RadioShack', 'Genexxa' and 'Realistic' brand names.

It's crazy to think this Tandy signage has been hidden in (relatively) plain sight in my new hometown!
