- 2004.
I think we started the shop in 2004.
We sell vintage, and I don't really like the word retro,
but people like to say it.
But we just basically sell
anything we can get our hands on really,
that's from the past.
- There's no kind of particular period we stock and sell.
It's just anything that catches our eye, yeah.
And we do mix periods.
So we'll put 50's and 70's and 80's together.
So we literally found this thing by the bins,
and we weren't sure whether to take it or not.
Cause it just looked like
some kind of school project or something.
We were just drawn to it.
So we kind of dragged it in.
Yeah and then I guess we were just messing about.
- And I went to 1945.
The machine enables us to go to that point in time,
but we don't really understand what we're traveling through.
It's just this... I don't know what it is.
- Yeah we're not kind of like scientifically minded,
so I say it's a wormhole
but I actually don't know what a wormhole is.
- Basically to get from "a", which is here,
to go to "b", which is 1959
the space we go through is what we call "The Unreason".
It's like this vortex, this portal to.
- It's indescribable really.
- You know we have had a few mishaps.
(electric zap)
(yells)
But it works, I mean that's the thing.
It actually works.

(dogs barking)
(clock ticking)
(electronic noises)
- Whew.
- I don't think it's stealing.
I mean because we don't stick around long enough
to know what happens afterwards,
I kind of in my head just imagine
that those things just reappear for those people.
It's this one. It's this one.
- Oh thanks.
- I know, it's amazing.
All right.
Do you want me to wrap it, or?
All right that's for you.
Anything else you want just let me know.
My number's there.
What I like to think is when we're taking it from the past
and we're bringing it in to the future,
that thing still exists.
It's not gone away,
and it would have found it's way there anyway.
Through, you know that person had it for years
and then they died and then we went
and bought it off a house clearance or an auction.
But instead it's just a much quicker way
of getting from a to b.
(electronic noises)
We do have a bit of a storage issue problem at the moment
because obviously when you're there
you see all these amazing things
that you just think "oh my God we could totally sell that."
We've got a warehouse, basically,
of just stuff we've just grabbed.
- I mean if somebody wanted like a car, from the 50's
that would be difficult.
We've never brought anything that big back.
But it's great for our business
cause we do clothing, home ware.
You know it's portable stuff.
- I mean the whole process has cut costs right down
because it's a lot cheaper in the past.
Well it's free.
(digital noises)
Four of those.

- What's better than exploring space and time?
- With your best friend.
