That takes me back, when I was a kid (in Streatham) there was a guy who used to come to the house selling little tins of polish and stuff.


But then we also had paraffin deliveries (of both pink and blue paraffin :)), a baker with a wicker basket to carry bread and cakes from his van to the house, a milkman delivering proper sour-tasting yoghurt in glass pots, a vegetable man and - YES! - a rag and bone man ringing his bell, with a horse and cart.


My aunt used to rush out with a shovel to get the horse manure for her roses.


AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH :))


History, innit :))

Hi


I bought one. I did not make it through the book as it was not my kind of read, but, I thought perhaps she would be good at writing for a teen audience as she had interesting character development...the writing needs a bit of help, but, she does certainly have something.


Anyway, good for self-initiative, and, she was a lovely woman.


xo, s

    • At the time of posting previously, we had no idea of the dates we would be having the children. The maths place - you pay for a course of lessons . The coding session would be good but you need to book well in advance. Also grandson has been doing coding since 6 years old. He now has a 'mentoring role' at his primary school as his knowledge of this subject is years above his chronological age. Dates are still up in the air as their father is trying to juggle leave from a new job in the north of the country. 
    • why not have a pasty shop - we could have Cornish pasties, Jamaican patties, empanadas from all the different regions.... I like all three.  I'm still going to support the Chacarero family business, as I don't support chains, just as I don't buy anything from Gail's, Nero, Starbucks etc.
    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
