Elderly ladies from the travelling community knocking on your door asking if you want to buy those useless wooden clothes pegs

Because cattle used to eat discarded ones & do lots of internal damage & they were banned. Modern pull tabs stay attached to the can or the large top of the can.
Quote: Renegade Carpark @ January 28 2012, 2:37 PM GMTNo, they used to collect old bits of furniture and housewares that people used to no longer want. They've been replaced by the council and recycling centres.
They are still around but use lorries now not horse & cart. & they tend to just pick up stuff they think is discarded without bothering to ring a bell or ask permission.
White dog poo was caused by bones,that's all some dogs had to eat, too much calcium.
'Kershaws' shell-fish salesmen in pub and Salvation Army people collecting in the pub.

Kids with elastoplast on their specs.

With a basket over their arm?
Oh, a few pints and a packet of winkles or, if I didn't look at them while I ate them, mussels. Loads of vinegar!
Kids today eh? Don't know what they're missing!

How were they served? Like a packet of crisps or a cone of chips? I'm imagining both.
Rhodesia, Upper Volta, Ceylon...
Little plastic pots with tiny fork! I thought they were 'orrible.
Seafood is pure evil.

The one I had were in a small plastic (I think) bags about 6"x4", tear the top off and away you go !

Oh, yeah. I think they're back in fashion. They have these "posh" ummm they have these seafood stands back home in Skegness with different types of seafood. I think I have seen things like that.

Were they fresh(ish)?

And now I agree.
Young's Large Cod Fillets in Crispy Bubbly Batter are all the seafood that passes my lips these days !

They'd bloody bite you if you didn't eat them quickly enough !
I miss seafood. It was bloody lovely. Occasionally I go and lick a fishmonger, which still counts as a veggie diet, right?
