Remembrance Day will be particularly
poignant this year as we commemorate
the centenary of the end of the First
World War. This was one of the
deadliest conflicts in the history of the
human race with deaths estimated at 7
million civilians and 10 million military
week. They have also had a rebrand to
reflect their modern store.
Ross and Kane are well known and liked
in Torrox, and they’re excited about the
future of the store and looking to grow
the business in the coming years. With
their friendly and enthusiastic approach,
it looks like the store will go from
strength to strength. Pop along to
Russell’s and say hi, they’re always open
to feedback and suggestions, and will
order products on request if available.
They have some great deals on (see their
ad on page 56) and with Christmas
approaching they’ll have lots more on
offer in the coming weeks. Like them on

him for 14 years and he will be very
sadly missed. Moggy the Soltalk dog used
to love to greet him with a kiss on the
nose when passing the bar and all the
neighbourhood dogs had a very soft spot
for him too. Bye bye Bobby.
