All you people talking about the Rag and Bone man , does any of you remember the Pig Swill Man , cos in our back entry off Chapman street we had a secure metal post in the ground and tied to that was a metal dustbin and every body in the back-entry used to put left over food , rotten food ,anything that was food ,and a man used to come ,I guess once a week and throw it into his cart and take it away to feed the pigs we were told You can imagin in summer what that smelt like ,but if we caught a member of another gang doing somthing wrong " put him in the swill bin " we used to shout , and I do remember one going in .....YUK

I have a shocking back memory but what sticks most in my mind about the Rag and Bone man was that he would be outside Old Moat School yes with the goldfish  I pestered Mum for ages and she gave in one day and let me take a bunny rug from a pram I think, actually I think it was a favourite of mine lemon with a white bunny in the middle it was hard to part with but I wanted the Goldfish and yes it died |
