GUESTleenia Yes - a fellmonger dealt in animal skins and hides. The "fell" part turns up in a number of Northern European languages - and is probably related to English "pelt", also. Where I went to school in Dublin in the '50's, the smell that permeated the classroom depended on the wind... From one direction it would be spent hops and other enticing odours from Guinness' Brewery. From the other, the less pleasant aroma from a knackers yard a mile or two away. I suspect I'm remembering the lorry signs from the latter. Regards
