I don't think it was. Mind you, aren't barber shops and hairdressers meant to be the same thing, where one gets their hair cut? Or are hairdressers different as they are focused on women a lot more as they provide perms, blue rinses and all that?

Bath & Cambridge, both look nice but I've never been to them.

I can highly recommend Bath, having been there a few times. Also, we paid a flying (punting) visit to Cambridge a few years back - total fun!

Newcastle upon tyne because of Auf weidersen pet

Being a Central TV series, I am certain that a lot of the series was actually filmed in Nottingham. Ironically, there is a YouTube clip online with some Tyne Tees continuity into an episode...

Would love to visit the street shop where open all hours and still open all hrs is filmed.

im pretty sure its the same exact shop and street for both.

Thnx george for reminding me of this thread.

I don't remember reminding you about this thread, but my pleasure if I did!

Funnily enough, I would love to get the Ferry to Northern Ireland one day and perhaps see Belfast - I believe that things have calmed down in the past 20 years over there and so it would make a great place to visit one day.

My late father was born in Doncaster where (Still) Open All Hours was filmed - I have been up there a few times, but never seen Lister Avenue where the shop was.

I have been trying to visit Hull and Cardiff but never seem to get round to doing so.

Re: places in th UK you would love to visit and why

Speaking of Stonehenge akb48fan, I have a tale to tell about that of which I am not too proud. A few friends and I rode down there from Blackpool on our motorbikes to see it many years ago. You can see the monument quite well from the public road, but you can also pay to get in much closer and have a good close up view. It was £2.50 at the time. Well we decided £2.50 was too much to see one of the world's greatest monuments up close, then promptly went and without hesitation spent £5 each in the KFC on the opposite side of the road !! Talk about getting your priorities wrong !! How shameful is that lol ?
