George Best's Edwardia fashion boutique was genuine. Sited on Motor Street, he and Mike Summerbee opened it in March 1967, and the Manchester United star could indeed often be seen on its premises, causing much excitement from younger fans keen to catch a glimpse of him. It folded in the 1970s, and in 2014 the site became a Crazy Pedro's Part-Time Pizza Parlour.
Geoffrey's starsign is Cancer; Beryl's is Libra.
