about 84 when it moved to old mothercare shop ( now HMV ) :)

wow, really? i don't remember that. are you sure? i know i can't remember 95% of my childhood but i would have bet money it was there, maybe i just remember halfords being there after it moved. but they deffo had goose and db when i got the burner when they were a new release bike for christmas. might have even been earlier than 82 come to think of it. what year did they release the burner? I hate not having much recollection of stuff from my early years. somebody help me out. i got a red and yellow burner when they were new that year for my birthday/christmas present(happens a lot when your birthday is in december :'( ) i was the first on our street to get a bmx, that much i remember because everybody wanted a do and my dad got mad because i came in the house and my new bike was still outside with somebody else on it. :-[ and he was an angry fella back then.

You're probably right with the Red and yellow burner being 82 crimbo John :daumenhoch: (How old were you just turned 10 or 11 :) )
but you'll have got it at the( H. Samuel ) first shop. Like you said looking back you'll just remember the shop being at (HMV) second location as it would've been there for longer when BMX was going , I suppose
Eccy is more of a Warlands wufter , whearas I got my first BMX about year before at Ewood bikes ( Ammaco sport )
I think I wanted a Halfords Turbo or a Team Murray for about a year or 2 previous to that, just after I got my Grifter in 79
Very happy days ::) :smitten:
