My name is Peter Thames I started working at 87 EALING in the September of 1961. The store manager was Mr A j Harper I believe he retired about 1963/64. One other I recognise from your picture in store dated 1966 was Mr Laurie Rome. I went on to become an Assistant Manager in July 1968 working 1/4 Ealing Broadway and at various stores within the region working under regional managers Mr Lewis and Mr Keene I eventually left Sainsburys in 1973 .
