1980s Punk Gallerys

John, working in Fans,
Old Compton Street.

We cater for punks, but we get all types in here: New Romantics, and Mods walk in... but they soon walk out again (guffaws of laughter). In summer we get hundreds of Punk tourists: French, German, Spanish and Yugoslavian. They'll buy anything! We do mail order and the only foreign letters we get are from Yugoslavia. You know, a lot of the kids save up for a month to buy a t-shirt. It totally amazes me. And then, some of them'll do the same for a pair of trousers. Incredible...Then, at the completely opposite extreme, you get the ones with loads of money who buy absolutely everything. Funny thing is, they seem to go for the worst stuff, and end up looking silly - Still, it's better than being normal.
