I'd completely forgotten about Monty Modlyn until seeing this. He was on TV and radio a lot during my youth. Just getting old ...

Brilliant! Really enjoyed the reporter, I remember blokes like him from when I was a boy, just his mannerisms and the way he spoke, really great clip, thanks!

Another wonderful window on the past, but if I could disagree with one thing, it's that the Rag n Bone man is far from being in a "dying" trade. He's just changed his mode of transport.

Had horses 1989 til 2011, a set of shoes in the north was about Β£35 & increased to over 50. I bet it's nr 100 for a set these days, every 8-10 week too
