Thread Name: Street cries still exist
Subject: RE: Street cries still exist
The decrepit old bloke who sold newspapers on Wilson-Peck's corner in Sheffield (anyone know where that was?) used to just shout FEEENOOW! I think it was 'Final', short for 'Late Night Final'.

The rag-and-bone man who came down our street shouted DOOOORK-ISS-TOW! He meant Donkey Stone. Bet you don't know what that was.
