A lot of the stuff you guys are talking about I only know from doing history at school! I'd like to see snoods again...anyone remember them, those big hood things?
These codes don't make me feel so welcome...

Rag and bone man? They aren't allowed to give u a goldfish these days unless you're over 14....and if u r then ur too embarrassed to take old rgs out for an effing goldfish LOL
Anyway why give it away when you can Ebay it?
Going through this a bit further, and I dont know if this was just in my area of the country ( East Dorset) but I can remember the "Bettaware" man coming round with a van full of hardware and cleaning products and him giving us children minature tins of polish which I assume were free samples. I can also rememberthe local corn merchants bringing chicken corn and the British Railways Scammell Mechanical Horse delivering parcels from Wimborne station when they were short of other lorries.
I still rely on wood for most of my heating as I get the wood for free but its getting more difficult for me to cut the wood up since I had my heart attack, so I`ll have to get a bit more mechanised!
