Title: Steptoe comes back.
Post by: sannyrut on July 19, 2011, 15:53:06 PM
I got a flyer through my front door yesterday.Good clothes bought-no bric-a brac and suddenly rememebered the 50's."Delf for rags" the rag man was calling from the street.His prices weren't great my mother said,but we got free horse manure if you were quick:D.Not for the clothes I add :)Any other 50's traditions coming back?

There are a lot of Eastern European gangs going around collecting clothes which is not helping our Charity Shops who depend on donations from the public.  If you have clothes and bric-a-brac please donate them to the Charity of your Choice.  If the clothes are well passed their best, put them into the re-cycling bin at your local dump, again lots of these re-cycling bins help local charities. ;)

A choice of ice cream man available as well, Tonibell, Mr Whippy and Mr Softee .. or perhaps a blue ice pop or even a jubbly.  The latter used to cost threepence old money, and I could earn that by running up the local shop to get the old man 20 Weights ... ahhh great days indeed:D

We only give our used clothes to CHAS,nobody else.I can also remember the milkman.Horse and cart,rolls in a large drawer at the back as well.The horse stopped at every house due a delivery,and the milkman only had to walk behind and deliver items to each house.Whereupon th horse would walk on to the next house.We also had "Pop Macari".He had a horse drawn ice cream cart.His ice cream was ok,but 3 horses on the street every day,we had wonderful rhubarb:DI forgot the coalman ;)
