.... and the Waxy bags that the Cockles came in !
I remember buying some Mussels in the Yarborough back in the 70's. Our lass said "what have you got them for"? I said, "They make your muscles bigger"!She said, "Does he sell Cockles"?
When I was at Uni in the 80s, my Dad used to post me the Green In every Monday. I'd get it Tues or Weds. And that would be the first time I'd have read owt about Donny's Saturday match beyond the scoreline. I occasionally wonder whether we might all be a bit happier if information was as slow coming through these days.
It's a depressing thought when you compare social life nowadays. Bentley had TWO major social clubs, The Yarborough and the Comrades, not to mention several other smaller venues. There was a choice of top-class entertainment every weekend.
Paul Mayfield used to send me cuttings from Green un to my home in France many years before the I follow I can use now.Paul has always been amazingly kind.Envoyé de mon EVA-L09 en utilisant Tapatalk
Saturday night out Green un, packet of cockles a few pints and change from a fiver.
I'm sure there are thousands across South Yorkshire who can remember the Green Un and the Cockle man being an integral part of the entertainment on offer in WMCs and social clubs. I can smell the vinegar now!I'm sure many amateur footballers and cricketers used to look forward to seeing their names in print and sad buggers like me might still have the cuttings!
