Hi, All !

Yes, Josi is quite right ! - but I also remember the plates on the
gates reading "No
Hawkers and No Circulars" - and now we drown in junk mail !!

You can find a very full explanation of 'Hawkers' / 'Peddlers' / and
'Mongers' on the
Wikipedia Encyclopedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peddler

I hope this helps ! Roger.
