And he drove the fastest milk cart in the West Should be, "You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground". I'll leave this one for someone else to have first stab at as I've jumped in first on the last two. I've got ten of them at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe rubes as well. Sure you'll get the others in time. Me too. Me too. Looking back, it's surprising that Benny Hill humour was so acceptable. It must be difficult to imagine for today's generation that we got milk from the traveling milkman and bread from the baker's van (and, in our case, books from the mobile library). There was also the "spastic man" collecting the pools. It really did instill a sense of community, and rumours spread like wildfire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
