Hello Cosmo

Alright, Mazzystar.

You gotta do the whole repetoire (ooh get me being posh). A pint of everything that Bob White's stall supplied, and a nice head of celery to go with.

One uncle got posh and moved to Beckenham.

You can imagine 20+ years ago the looks I used to get going into these kinds of pubs alone and ordering a pint!I remember being told in one pub 'This is no place for a lady'!(Dont get that often!)

That's the one!
The stall was outside the Oval station - we used to go there every Sunday morning.
If he wasn't there we'd bowl along to the shop.

Don't like pie and mash??? No side order of stewed eels to go with?

Sitting in Manzi's at a marble table with bench seats was part of my childhood. I used to look forward to it.

Oh, and the big bottles of vinegar with all the chillies floating in it.
Delish.

I can see my Nan now, spreading the fat & jelly over the bread, She always judged how good the meat was by the dripping at the end.

I missed out on these treats!

I prefer a kebab to pie and mash and green shite!

I'll have you know that 'green shite' was pure nectar to me.

And as for bread and dripping - it must be a nan thing. Mine always had a bowl of it on the go.

I wish I was a kid again.
