I cannot get smoked mackerel now in my retirement home like I used to get from you.

Happy retirement Tom.

I have always wanted to visit a real fishmonger like that- I live in central Pennsylvania, and the closest I’ve ever been was the lake near my house!

Will the stall continue? It’s so difficult to find these places any more. I suddenly have a craving for some cockles!

BTW we used to know a Ffyes salesman, ‘banana Tom’ to us – end 70’s early 80s. One and the same I wonder?
