this guy (willie daniels ) is a real candidate for the title of "there's nowt as strange as folk!!!!!!
been about 3 times to this guy's shop from about 2000 to 2005 period ,was going out with a dutch girl at the time (antwerp not being too far from nijmegen)having originally spotted it about 15/20 years ago on a eurolines bus heading to poland with me mate for a chrimbo booze up.....the bus stopped right in front of it around rooservelt plien for one of its many scheduled stops....it was shut but could see U.S 45s on the wall and in piles on the counter....oooohhhher!!!
the last time i went... complete waste of time !!!...but the other 2 times always found something to resell probably the best being eskew reeder (instant)40 euros sold it for £75 and robert parker "caught.." nola w/d 15 euros sold £30 and other popcorn bits like mel anton (mickays) etc.....
like previous poster says really hard to get hold of and arrange to meet and a real oddball to boot...he spent one occasion bemoaning in flemish to my girlfriend , the fact that "it was really hard to find a young girlfriend "...i remember thinking ,after she'd told me what he'd said and that she thought he was a wierdo and wanted to leave....but not until i'd finished looking through every thing!!!!!!!!, that maybe it's to do with him being middle aged , having a comb over and a big sump of a beer belly !!!... but still bollocked my girlfriend for not fluttering her eyes lashes so i could get the records cheaper!!!!!
...thinking about it now.... the last time i went he had a youngish Thia lass in the shop with him so i guess he'd been paying for her "professionalism" !!!...hence the need to advertise and get some money in...she's obviously not cheap!!!
i'm guessing he probably had stuff about 20 years ago when i should have first gone after i'd seen it on the bus journey!!!...oh well!!!!

ps... hey...... nicola you can quote me on that for yours and andy d's project !!!!
