    Used to be a hot chestnut stall outside Hammond's.


    But chestnuts ain't whelks so it's a bit irrelevant really.

    I remember you could smell the brewery and fish smoking when the wind was right.

    Ships sounding their horns to let the new year in.

    Aye, he is a dying breed though. Quite a character as he also does catering for birthday bashes, Cèilidh, etc., (still hanging in there) shindigs and anything folk will cross his palm for - when he announces ' Buffet is served' he usually does a fine tune with the spoons and a bit of a jig (a distraction technique, believe me! <laugh> ) - for a big guy in his late sixties he is surprisingly and pleasantly light on his feet! A cracking lad.

    Perhaps that raises another suggestion - True Characters, Jack-the Lads and Lasses - a disappearing breed; it just seems too easy to shock and folk soak that ****e up.

    Cinema adverts specific to Hull.


    Today could be your lucky day,
    Today could be The Golden Touch.



    Western Jeans Company, 147 Whitefriargate, Hull.

    With Whitefriargate pronounced as written!


    And one for an Indian restaurant within a few minutes of this cinema.

    But I've forgotten which one.

    But it's probably been a good 12-15 years.

    Was talking about this, this afternoon as it happens.


    The wife suddenly pipes up 'what was that cartoon that everyone reckoned had Seaman Bates in it?'


    Soppy tart.
