Millie week 18

Daily Mirror, July 28 1990

(Don't forget you can see the strip at a much bigger size just by clicking on it.)

Dixons was the main chain of electrical outlets in the High Street in the 80s and 90s. It's since moved mainly online, and into out-of-town big box warehouse stores (under the Curry's brand), but you'll still see a rump of high street stores here and there. At the time it was famed for the cluelessness of its Saturday staff, who tended to be schoolboys with rudimentary English and Maths who didn't know anything about their stock but who were very persistent in trying to sell you unwanted warranties. Gemma's seen here wearing the typical Dixons uniform of red and white candy stripes.
