Ah, the old east-end barrowboys.

Around where I Iived in the 50's and 60's, at the topof my road there were
two independent greengrocers on either side of the road within 50yards
of each other. And another maybe 100 yards away further on up the road.
In the high street there was a Gerrards who were a big chain greegrocers
along with Myers ISTR. Who together had as many branches as say Sainsbury
or Dewhurst the butcher .

The idea that we all stood around waiting until the chirpy cockneys showed
up having wheeled their fruit laden barrows all the way from the East End
is the sort of thing you might expect to see in a film made by Americans
starring Dick Van Dyke.

Funny, I thought most of those shops were run by Asians these days.

Polish Asians, eh ? Who'd have thought.

Who aren't ethnic over here.

Ethnicity concerns people's cultural identity both objective and subjective
as compared with the cultural mores of the majority population, and has
nothing to do with geography as such, at all.

Congratulations Andy on posting two short sentences comprising one of the best
examples of ill-considered incomprehensible gibberish its been my pleasure to
read in quite a while.
