Dace the Gnome: Lol, yes, I grew up somewhere you could trade pheasants for cash at the back door of the local. I haven't seen veg bartered in a pub, but when I was a kid our elderly neighbour used to leave generous veg boxes on our doorstep from time to time (we paid everyone back with excess fruit).

Offering to the music gods: Francis Shergold also recorded a version of Needlecases thats well worth listening to if you like traditional singers. An under-performed song imo like Three Acres:
