alby Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I lived on Windy House Lane in the 1950s and remember the bell ringing of the tripe man - was it Thursday nights? There was also a man who came around with a large suitcase selling sweets door to door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbaby 3 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 i can remember him well he used to park on our corner we used to chase him down bassledene road and he would let us ring the bell.He used to keep the tripe in ice and would give us big chunks of ice to suck .Come to think of it now it tasted disgusting but it was in the days when only the wealthy owned a fridge and we thought it was great.
