He opened a car showroom in Reading, many moons ago, when I was early teens I think.
He was sharp suited and with perfectly coiffured hair - could almost have been the inspiration for Swiss Toni.

Also around that time, Terry Wogan opened a new Londis mini mart down the road. Can remember a bunch of local ladies there, armed with shopping bags, to see him arrive - he was a sort of housewives favourite back then I think.

I misunderstood this and interpreted "opened" as "owned and ran" rather than "cut the tape".

I was imagining Terry Wogan busy with his pricing gun putting labels on the tins of beans in Londis, and all the small businesses in Reading being run by DJs. Jimmy Young and his window cleaning round in Caversham. Dave Lee Travis and his driving school.

Thread drift. Sir Terry Wogan opened the new Rainbow Supermarket in Market Deeping around late ‘90s. My work colleague lived almost opposite the supermarket, there was a knock on her door and Sir Terry asks if he can use her bathroom! The bathroom is now a sacred shrine to Sir Terry.
Pete Murray was a family favourite on our radio.

Playing records is very much like making love to a beautiful woman......
