Lushcannon Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 In the early 80s a man (called Benny) used to do the Crosspool pubs shouting 'any fooseed' when he walked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I can remember 2 guys who used to call in the clubs around the woodseats area, one of them looked a bit like a 118 guy he used to come in the smithywood club in the 70's and 80's, the other guy was a bit of a cross dresser saw him once or twice in the chapletown wmc also,I wonder if they made much money out of it,there sea food always was very fresh and good value.

Heybunny Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I remember going to the Bellhouse road WMC with my parents in the early 90s, was like 6 years old then... I remember the guy who used to come in there selling crab sticks and things that were shaped like big prawns but tasted just like crab sticks. Used to douse them in vinegar, polish them off and occasionally the band would let me have a go on the drums before we left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_partridge Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I remember a fella who used to go round the pubs in Crookes selling it, must be about 15-20 years ago. He wasn't exactly a great salesman, just did a circuit around the pub muttering "seafood". I never bought any, I never exactly thought to myself "I'm really enjoying this pint of bitter, but I think what would really complement it right now would be a crabstick".

flightliner Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 There were several, each with their own rounds. The one I remember did the town centre pubs. He had dark brylcreemed hair, an Errol Flynn 'tache and wore glasses. His patter could be disgusting when he was in the mood. yah- like-- Cockles, whelks, pregnant tadpoles!!:rant: I always thought he looked like charlie chase.
