Seafood Seller Visiting Pubs

[dave50]

Does anyone remember them going round the local pubs selling cockles and mussels etc?

[Mamyalynne]

Oh yes, always Cockles for me - yummy.

[dannyk13]

Yes.

[ummmm]

Yep...they tended to visit the clubs rather than pubs.

[woofgang]

yes, it was lovely.

[woofgang]

Followed by the Salvation Army selling the Watchtower, most people contributed but few took the paper.

[ummmm]

I've never lived in London.

Here they only sold in clubs. I loved them btw.

[dannyk13]

It was pubs in Bradford too.Always welcomed by the landlord because the saltiness of the seafood made one thirstier.

In the Midlands pubs and clubs, also.

War Cry, Donny. The Watchtower is Jehovah's Witness.

[Baldric]

[Baldric]

OF ^^ not if, . . . . good grief

[Jackdaw33]
