It's bizarre how we as a society have completely forgotten that there were actual fleets of zero-emission vehicles making daily deliveries to almost every urban and suburban address in the country for like 50 years. You're telling me that we *couldn't* have them also delivering groceries and all of our parcels at the same time now? (Oh wait that would require cooperation rather than competition, better have 40 different companies all driving down my street every day, each dropping off one parcel from a diesel-burning van, that's much more efficient and definitely not about to cause an extinction event that would make the K/T boundary look like a loving picnic)

Remember when that old veteran got a yogurt on him and the the whole of England went off like it was the worst thing to happen and then it got found out that the only wars he did was beating some Irish civilians? Maybe that was the milkmen too.

counter-revolutionary internal combustion. Milkies around here used to do eggs, cheese, yoghurt and off-brand lemonade too. While I'm  -ing - and cos I've just heard an ice cream van - what happened to <x> men? Not X Men although they all seemed to disappear around the time superhero movies started up. We used to have the eel man (sold jellied eels and shellfish out of the back of a van), the Corona man (sold Corona soft drinks off the back of a van like that one up there, 5p more for one out of the fridge behind the cab), two different butchers selling out of lorries (one sold whole and half-carcasses, the other did off-cuts and sausages), and (the most evocative of all for kids who grew up in Tower Hamlets) the toffee-apple man, who sold hand-made toffee apples out of the topbox on his Honda Cub. Now all we've got left is an ice cream man and tbh they're looking a bit down-at-heel.

the fish man round our way used to yell out of his van something like HRUNALAYFRESHHRUNALAALYAHURURNALLALAAAAAAAAY like that, over and over - he had quite a set of lungs. to this day i don't know if he was yelling words or if it was just some special fish man siren call i would never have made it as a fish man, i have no shouting voice. if i try to go above speaking on the telephone to someone hard of hearing volume my voice cracks like a pubescent boy's

The Fish Man was *apparently* shouting "Fresh cockles and mussels, jellied eels, cockles and herring" but it turned into four words made mostly of consonants, and the Toffee Apple Man was just one bellow of OOOOOEEEEAAAAAALLLLLS punctuated by shave-and-a-haircut on one of those old bulb horns. Also suspiciously-stained white coats, which was always funny to me. The point of food sellers wearing white is supposed to show you how hygienic they and their premises were, so wearing one that looked like you'd just been Carrie-d (or that you'd obviously been wearing in all weathers while riding a motorbike around London for several years) kinda missed the point.

The Maine Man still exists in NI and will deliver delicious full sugar fizzy pop to your door ( and collect the glass bottles). We get a selection crate every month. https://www.mainesoftdrinks.co.uk/shop/

i like the idea that there is a test for street vendors like cabbies doing the knowledge and you get an automatic fail if your shout has discernable words in it those mannequin pictures are horrific. that's what it would look like if someone did an alien v.s. predator film but it was mannequin v.s. schindler's list. horrific

goddamnedtwisto posted:counter-revolutionary internal combustion. My late nan used to live in a tiny hamlet with no shops other than coming into town (3/4 mile walk to bus stop, bus to town, struggling back with your shopping, 3/4 mile walk back up hill from bus stop). I had to live with her for a year when I was 10, and I remember a van about the size of a Bedford van used to come round twice a week with bread, milk, other basic groceries, and - Pink Panther bars  (who remembers those? Strawberry flavour pink 'chocolate' - probably more like caramac than chocolate.) And the Corona lorry used to come round on high days and holidays for the fizzy pop which my folks allowed us to have a bottle of Dandelion and Burdock on Easter, Christmas and bank holidays.

ed. nm it's been deleted now. He'd do better with the public if he simply said: I am a liar, a cheat, and incompetent. I'm posh too and have zero affinity with the working classes. Then he'd win an election under the British system because the Grate British Public love to be represented by a vile piece of scum. Ed: the tweet related to Starmer. Owl has helpfully screenshotted it and reposted a couple of posts down. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 12:38 on May 28, 2021 |
