What about the Spanish blokes selling onions that came door to door on their pushbikes, were they illegal immigrants in those days?

Do the Gypsies still go around selling pegs and crap ?

I liked it when you took a jug to the horse & cart Milko and he would measure it out, same with the butter.

Reading the torn up newspaper on the Lav was great.

Were those blokes really french or whatever, I can remember my mum saying that these people were due and sure enough they arrived. We used to have loads of onions on the cellar stairs all wrapped together by their dried leaves.

I cant believe they came all that way to sell a few onions!:confused:
