Around the corner to us in Leasowe’s Avenue, Coventry was a small convenience store that had about 50 VHS films to hire. Not long after we were married I took the opportunity of the Christmas break to borrow the Panasonic video player from work and hired a couple of films. “Porky’s” was one of them, I laughed ‘till I cried! It would be a few years until we had a VHS machine of our own, before that we dabbled with the Philips V2000 system. The only place I ever saw V2000 pre-recorded tapes was in “Spicer’s” Hertford Street, Coventry. They had about 25!
