Any Old Rags?


Do you get rag and bone men any more? We could do with one around where we live. When I was little the rag and bone man rang his bell as he walked alongside his horse and cart, collecting all sorts of textiles and household junk - (maybe I imagined the horse and cart! Er, actually no I do remember.....) I also remember the open backed vans that came later, often with someone blowing a trumpet..... but I definitely remember the bell ringing and calling out of  'rag bone! rag bone!' and of course there was the pop van too.........
