    I remember coming to work one morning, I was managing a store in St James's Street at the time. I walked down from the station as I had to commute in daily. I wondered why there was a long queue of mainly young people along the Steine. I was surprised that it was an extremely long queue and went around a very long block passing my store and nearby Woolworths. That was the queue with young people applying at the Job Centre to work as extras on Quadrophenia.
